Disappointed
Disappointed We have been to La Piazzolla several times and have recommended the show in the past. We booked this show far in advance as it was our daughter’s birthday. She had never been to a Tango show before as this was her first visit to Buenos Aires. We had notified the theater In advance that this was a special occasion. We arrived early and were given a table to the side floor level. We spoke to someone who understood English and was told there was never a guarantee and he would try to move us later. (This never happened) If we wanted to cancel we would have to do so on line as we had booked directly with the theater on line. This made no sense. A waiter told us he was our server but he never returned so some else took our order after we asked for help. This time we had one small meat empanada and was told the other was cheese. In the past there were two large meat empanadas. The cheese included ham which we were not told by our waitress.The steak was tough and full of fat and grizzle. The chunks of potato were hard and over cooked. We were never asked if everything was okay or if we needed another beverage. To be honest the show was not as good as in the past. Some of it was really boring. We could not see the videos behind the band or parts of the show that started in the side balcony. The worst part was one waiter in particular walked back and forth during the show to clear entre meal and dessert dishes and glasses. Our waitress did it once. Why was the clearing plates, glasses and empty bottles necessary when the show is an hour and was to be the highlight of the evening. We have pictures of waiters instead of the dancers. People who came for the show only were seated in the middle in front of the stage. They did not even stay for the entire show. To say the least we will not return nor recommend Piazzolla Tango show. There are many other shows in the city.
Response from the operator: We are very sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize that it did not meet your expectations, especially for such a special occasion. We appreciate your detailed feedback regarding the seating, service, and dining, as well as your comments about the show itself. Your experience is important to us, and we will review your observations with the theater to improve their service and guest experience. We hope that despite this, you may give another Buenos Aires experience a chance in the future. Best regards, Buenos Aires Tour Guide

Tango and dinner
Great tango show and the dinner and wine was great. We loved the table Malbec and enjoyed the show. We were picked up at the time we were given and it was a comfortable ride and show.

Great Tango experience
Nice dinner with great food and excellent Tango show. Highly recommend this dinner and show. ………………………………..,..
via Viator
Don’t eat there, the show should be just around $30 the entry, considering the quality.
Worst dinner ever. The food was cold and tasted like old. The show was boring to the point to get sleeping. Finally one start due to the voice and animation of Hugo Marcel (singer) that awake up me, just 10 minutes before the end.

Piazzolla Tango Show with Optional Dinner in Buenos Aires: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does Piazzolla Tango Show with Optional Dinner in Buenos Aires cost?
+
Prices start at $32 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 Piazzolla Tango Show with Optional Dinner in Buenos Aires take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Piazzolla Tango Show with Optional Dinner in Buenos Aires worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 17 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 Piazzolla Tango Show with Optional Dinner 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 Piazzolla Tango Show with Optional Dinner in Buenos Aires suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Piazzolla Tango Show with Optional Dinner in Buenos Aires?
+
Around 6 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Piazzolla Tango Show with Optional Dinner 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.
