What you'll see and do
Experience the soul of Argentina with an unforgettable evening at Michelangelo, a legendary tango venue located in a restored conventillo in the heart of San Telmo. Your evening begins with an optional pre-show experience where you can learn the basics of this passionate dance, or a wine tasting guided by expert sommeliers, offering a curated selection of Argentina’s finest wines. From 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, enjoy a three-course gourmet dinner in an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere. At 9:00 PM, the lights dim and the show begins. Accompanied by a live tango orchestra and a traditional Argentine folk group, four extraordinary couples take the stage to perform with breathtaking skill and emotion. The performance goes beyond tango, offering a deeper look into Argentine folklore and gaucho traditions, including powerful indigenous music and a thrilling boleadoras demonstration, where the rhythm and energy of the gaucho culture come to life.

Great venue with good food and entertainment, terrible service.
Food was very good, show also good, though over amplified music, service rude rude rude. Arriving early we asked to not be seated and enjoy a drink in the bar. We were told that we had to be seated NOW, no one else in the restaurant. Enjoying a glass of wine the waiter came by and after we had already checked out the menu, shoved the menu in our face to push an early order ( clearly it was to their advantage to serve as soon as possible for their convenience). Upon leaving the waiter chased us down the stairs demanding a tip. What ever happened to tipping for good service? Upon entry we were issued a voucher. The doorman checked our voucher and then handed to the next in line who checked our voucher again, walked us 10’ feet and sent us upstairs to the dining room, to then be asked to see our voucher again. Nothing about the customer experience.

Tango amazing, but book direct with the venue and take a taxi if you are staying in San Telmo
Tango dancing was stunning! Meal and venue were also great. A unique experience. However if staying San Telmo I would suggest booking direct with the venue and taking a taxi there and back. We were scheduled for a pick up and tour around San Telmo at 7pm, but the bus did not come until after 7:30pm and went direct to the venue. Despite only staying about 5 mins ride from the venue, our return journey took us all over the city and took 40 mins to drop us last back at our hotel.

It may take 20-25 minutes...
It may take 20-25 minutes before you get picked up from specified hotel. The drop off was much better organized

Hot Tango, great food!
Wow! This was awesome to see. The tango show was great and the dinner was also amazing. If you want to see a great tango show and enjoy an excellent dinner Michelangelo’s is definitely the place to go while in Argentina!

Save your money.
Save your money. Crowded in like sardines, poor view of stage area, rushed meal served while show was ongoing. Terrible food & poorly planned event.
Response from the operator: We are sorry to hear that the Michelangelo Show did not meet all your expectations. As we are in permanent contact with each tango house in Buenos Aires, we will contact them to make the corresponding suggestions according to your comments so they can improve their services. For our company, it is very important that our travelers return to their country with the best memories of their trip in Argentina, this is why we apologize for the inconvenience in your tour with Michelangelo. Thank you very much for your review, it will help us to improve our services.

Michelangelo Tango & Folklore Show in Buenos Aires: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Michelangelo Tango & Folklore Show in Buenos Aires cost?
+
Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Buenos Aires usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Michelangelo Tango & Folklore Show in Buenos Aires take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Buenos Aires is not rushed.
Is Michelangelo Tango & Folklore Show in Buenos Aires worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Michelangelo Tango & Folklore Show in Buenos Aires?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Michelangelo Tango & Folklore Show in Buenos Aires suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Michelangelo Tango & Folklore Show in Buenos Aires?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Buenos Aires can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Buenos Aires and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Michelangelo Tango & Folklore Show in Buenos Aires start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Buenos Aires within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Buenos Aires?
+
On Outty we rank every Buenos Aires experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Argentine Cooking, Wine & Beef Tasting at Argentine Experience, Historical Sherpa Food Tour of San Telmo with Street Food, Drinks, Cooking Class with Empanadas Steak & Flan by Argentine Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Buenos Aires?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
