<p>good tour, our driver did not speak any English drove around town for a long time to get to the show</p>
<p>Dinner and show were both quite good. Pickup at port was easy on and timely, but a bit of confusion on return trip.</p>
<p>A Must-Do in Buenos Aires! This show is, unlike most other Tango shows in BsAs, not a Broadway-style show, but an historical retrospective of the Tango from its origins in the Barrios to modern day. The dancers were fantastic, accompanied by live orchestra and two wonderful baritones who interspersed local, historical songs with the dance. Don't miss THIS show in Buenos Aires!</p>
<p>The show and dinner was great,but the tour guide did not wait for us at the designated time.We were only a few minutes late and not knowing the area and where exactly to meet,we were disappointed that the guide left without us<br/> We ended up getting a cab on our own to get to the venue,some 40 minutes later</p>
