Tango Tours in Buenos Aires

While watching tango is fun, dancing tango is even better. Try the dance for yourself by booking a private tango lesson with a local dancer, or join a small group tango class at a local milonga. These interactive lessons can be combined with a tango history tour around town or a show at one of the city’s many excellent tango theaters.
