Highlights
  • Avenida 9 De Julio - After hotel pickup, we’ll take you over to the cobbled streets of San Telmo, a historic neighborhood with deep roots in the tango tradition.
  • La Ventana Tango Show - Arrive at a “conventillo”, a historic tenement restored and now used as a restaurant-theater, where La Ventana takes place.

For dinner, you’ll be able to choose between a selection of typical national and international dishes. It includes a starter, a main course, a dessert and drinks.

The tango show will begin at 10pm, with music from not only a live tango orchestra, but also an Argentine gaucho band. Onstage, four spectacular couples dance with incredible precision and a whole lot of passion.

The show will also give you an insight into gaucho culture through their music as well as a striking demonstration of their boleadoras skills.

To bring an unforgettable evening to a close, the performers at La Ventana sing a touching tribute to Eva Peron.

At 11:45pm, once the show has finished, we’ll take you back to your hotel for the night.

What a fabulous night! - In my opinion, you cannot go to Buenos Aires without going to a tango show. My partner was not so keen but we both had a fabulous night out. Yes, it is touristy and you are somewhat herded into the venue and the seating is "compact" but despite the pressure on the waiting staff, they were both very good at their jobs, and also kept their sense of humour and customer service levels - very commendable. We did not expect too much from the food, given the numbers in the venue and all being tourists, but we were very pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent - my choice being empanadas, steak and dulce de leche - it was all fantastic. The show itself was a mix of tango (absolutely incredible) and other musical events. All in all, a fabulous night out - touristy yes, but fabulous, an even bigger yes!

Good food & very talented performers - I’m not usually inclined to go to these dinner/show events, but I did want to see some authentic Tango dancing. The event space was very crowded with about 200 people. My wife & I both had their steak dinner, and the food was excellent, along with the complementary wine. But the real stars of the evening were the people on stage. The had terrific Tango dancers, singers, musicians, and other performers. All-in-all, they had a rotating group of about 30 performers on stage. It was an unforgettable evening.

Excellent Tango performance. - Fantastic Tango performance. ! great ambience and good viewing angles for everyone in the room. Steak dinner was a bonus , however make sure , if you like your steak to not be VERY well done to explicitly ask. Asking for medium will lead to extremely well done steak - ask for "jugoso" or juicy steak.

Entertaining evening with good food - We were not really sure what to expect and to be honest had reservations that the show might be a bit ‘tacky’, however we were very pleasantly surprised! The evening’s entertainment was very professionally conducted and we had an extremely enjoyable evening. All dancers, musicians and entertainers were extremely talented. The food too was very good, especially considering the number of people being catered for. My steak was cooked perfectly and the service was prompt and the waiters friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Unethical business practices! BEWARE - BEWARE of this establishment! My husband and I booked this event and paid in advance $240 US dollars. We received e-mail confirmation and it stated they would pick us up at 7:30 pm from our hotel, Park Hyatt Palacio Duhau. Upon arrival at our hotel we discovered there are 2 entrances to the hotel, one on Posadas Street and one on Alvear Street. The hotel main building and original entrance is on Alvear but both entrances are staffed by a registration desk and concierge, bellman, etc. Due to this unique setting we e-mailed La Ventana to ask which entrance to meet them at for our event. The e-mail was answered by a staff member, Andrea Guzman, to meet at the Alvear lobby. On the evening of the show we arrived to the Alvear lobby at 7:25 pm where we spoke to the concierge and discussed our plan to go to the show. At 7:45 pm no one had arrived so my husband called La Ventana on their What's app and was told the driver was running late but he would be there. At 8:00 pm no one arrived so we began calling La Ventana again. This time no one answered. We went to the concierge and he called La Ventana and no one answered. Between 8:00 pm and 8:15 pm we called the venue and no one answered. During this same period of time another couple arrived in the lobby also stating they were waiting for the same driver and they stated they were told to go to the Posadas lobby but no one had arrived there so they decided to come up to the Alvear entrance to see if anyone had been there. The concierge called the Posadas concierge and no one had arrived there to pick any of us up. The other couple decided they would go back to Posadas and wait there and we would wait in Alvear so that between the 2 of us we could catch the driver. The concierges also assured us that regardless of the entrance they would call to let us know once the driver arrived. At 8:30 pm I decided to what's app the venue to be told the driver had already picked up at our hotel and "we were not in the lobby", which was not true. We had been there since 7:25 pm, over an hour. After multiple exchanges via text we were offered a refund and I accepted the offer. As of this writing we have not received a refund, it has been 3 weeks, they do not answer our calls, respond to our messages, and we have been ghosted by them. They got our money and now their word is no good. We went back to the Posadas lobby to find the other couple did get picked up there. The next day we ran into them at breakfast and they told us that the driver arrived around 8:20 pm and they tried to tell the driver to come to Alvear to pick us up but he didn't speak English at all so he ignored them and rushed them into the van. The couple also told us the driver had no cell phone, his battery was dead, and had no GPS/maps and got very lost. They drove around and around and after an hour finally arrived at the venue. They said the food was decent, not great, but the show was good. The driver also did not talk to the Posadas entrance Concierge at all so he could not call upon us to come to that entrance. The couple said they made every effort to get the driver to go around the block and come get us but with the language barrier if was futile. The main issue we have with all of this is that we went to the lobby that Andrea Guzman told us to go to and after being told in writing they would refund us, no refund has arrived. I feel this is an unethical business practice and implore anyone reading this e-mail to boycott this venue as they do not do what they say they will do. This is unacceptable to take money without fulfilling the contract. Shame on them! Go to another show in Buenos Aries. There are plenty of really good ones.
