Prices are per person, from, for the 2026 to 2027 season. Per day is a comparison aid, not how the trip is billed. Every itinerary is tailor-made and quoted individually.
There is the dinner show, which is theatre and is very good theatre. There is the milonga, which is a social dance in a neighbourhood hall where nobody is performing for you. And there is the class, which is the only way the other two stop being spectator sports. Most itineraries sell the first and call it tango.
The tango houses in San Telmo and Puerto Madero put on a professional production with dinner. It is choreographed, it is expensive and it is genuinely impressive. Just do not confuse it with what happens in the city after midnight.
Theatre, not social dance
Ordinary halls, ordinary people, codes that take a night to read: the cabeceo, the tandas, who sits where. Visitors are welcome and nobody minds if you only watch, which is what most first timers do.
Go late, watch first
An hour with a teacher before the milonga turns the evening from a performance into something you understand. It is also the single best value thing on any tango itinerary here.
Worth one afternoon
The rest of the city is at Buenos Aires tours, the wider cultural picture at Argentina cultural tours, and the short version at 4 days in Buenos Aires.

Every quote we send lists this in writing, trip by trip. As a rule, this is how a Buenos Aires package is built.
Hotels selected and checked by our team; private transfers between airports, hotels and excursions; excursions with English-speaking local guides; entrance fees to the museums, shows and tastings listed in your itinerary; daily breakfast and the meals marked day by day; a local WhatsApp support line for the whole trip.
International flights to and from Argentina; travel insurance; meals not marked in the itinerary; personal expenses and gratuities; optional activities, which we price in writing beforehand. Domestic flights on to other regions are quoted separately or included depending on the package, and your quote states which, with the amount, so the total is clear before you book.
The city works in any weather, and that is the advantage of starting here. If a storm closes the delta boat at Tigre or an open air walk, we move to the indoor half of your itinerary the same day: Teatro Colón, MALBA, a tango hall with dinner or a Palermo tasting. Wherever the schedule allows, we rebook the highlight inside your trip at no extra cost.
