About this activity
Start your tour when you meet your expert guide at an iconic French-style coffee shop in Buenos Aires - a favorite venue of the late tango singer Carlos Gardel. Hear about this iconic dance as you sip on a complimentary drink and immerse yourself in the world of milongueros (tango dancers).

Learn about the history of tango, listening to stories of how immigrants invented the dance in the colorful district of San Telmo in the 1850s, choreographing all the steps, stomps, and claps on its backstreets.

Once you are ready and have a deep knowledge of this dance, you will stroll in a milonga — the name given to the legendary tango dance halls in Buenos Aires. Go inside and watch the locals practice their intricate steps to classic tango music. Then, it’s your turn! Try the steps for yourself and discover just how exhilarating this expressive dance is.

Your tour finishes here where you can take a seat, enjoy a drink and watch professionals and locals perform their flamboyant moves.
