About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- shayno980 contributionsFun night out.We had the VIP private balcony. Service was excellent, the balcony set up was very elegant. The food was absolutely amazing. One of the best steaks I’ve had in my life. Cooked to perfection. The show itself was good although it dragged on a bit long. Too much singing. If you’re expecting English there’s none. It’s all in Spanish, which isn’t a problem just don’t expect English. With the VIP ticket we skipped the line at the front.Written August 12, 2024
- MimiFan9260 contributionsGo see this tango show!Great tango show! A bit strange on the start- not sure why there were horses. The dancers were incredible - so talented and sexy! The owner did sing a bit, but perhaps I was expecting it based on other reviews. The few songs that were sung by him and a dancer were okay, nothing special. One dance number was very strange - like prostitution dancing. But overall the charisma of the men, and the strength and beauty of the dancing was incredible - so beautiful to watch! We skipped the dinner, so were seated in the corner. Could still see the show very well. And the accordion player was almost the star of the show! Very easy to get an Uber to and from the show.Written June 18, 2024
- BrianH34140 contributionsA Night of TangoWe enjoyed this show very much! We had the dinner before and thought the food was very good. The service was good and attentive. As for the show, it was terrific. The dancers are very talented, the singers sounded great and the Argentinian drumming was so fun to see. So many talented musicians as part of the show as well. The venue is small and historic, and the service during the show was attentive as well. Our only very small complaint was the prearranged transportation ran late and ended up being a bus shared by several others. Not a huge issue, but just for awareness as that isn’t what we had expecte.Written June 15, 2024
- Voyage7261750 contributionsIncredible Tango ShowAmazing tango show-well worth the price. I also had the dinner before which was excellent. The tango dancing was incredible and this show lived up to my expectations. I would definitely not miss this fantastic show.Written May 13, 2024
- 701made0 contributionsGreat tango show in a historic small venueWent with a couple of friends from the US. We only saw the show, did not partake in the dinner. I had seen this show a few years ago as well as another show in a different place. I have to say that I was still mesmerized by the performance of the dancers, the orchestra and the singers. The place is small but I prefer it than the large auditoriums. It was half full because it is off season. The prices seemed to be discounted from what was advertised online and included a couple drinks.Written May 10, 2024
- JohnJ5830 contributionsThe Best Tango show in BAAn exceptionally well performed Tango show. Hostess and servers were fantastic and very friendly. Many spoke English. The dancers are experienced and so professional. The costume changes are well coordinated with the live music so that the audience is never bored. The food was exceptional! The wine was very good and they are happy to refill frequently. For your entree, I highly recommend the fresh fish option. My wife had the pasta and enjoyed that as well. The flan for dessert was delicious. It was a bit long for me, and almost for my wife. Perhaps we were just weary travelers having arrived in Buenos Aires that morning. We had attended a different and less expensive dinner/tango show years ago and this was far and away better and more impressive. Definitely worth the higher price.Written April 17, 2024
- Socatrader0 contributionsExcellent performance of the TangoEven though there was a slight mix up of where to pick up our group, the tour company promptly rectified the situation. We choose to have dinner and the show. When we arrived, we had the opportunity to join with others to learn some of the tango moves, great fun, lot of laughs. Dinner was nice enough. The tango show was amazing. Unfortunately with about 5 minutes to go in the show, the lights went out in the area. The performers kept going as much as they could in the darkness. All in all our group enjoyed the evening.Written April 6, 2024
- T1493KKjl0 contributionsExcellent experience with BA Tours to Iguazu FallsWe can’t say enough good things about the private tour we had with BA Tours to Iguaza Falls. The communications were clear and precise which was important because we were on such a tight timeline. The driver picked us up from our hotel on time at around 5 am for the flight from Buenos Aires to Iguaza. The tour guide Analia and driver met us when we landed and Analia was an excellent tour guide. She pointed out sights of interest and was a wealth of info on the flora and fauna as well as history of the falls. We opted for the optional boat tour to the falls which she helped us coordinate and ensured we met the scheduled departure and was awaiting us when we returned. Most importantly when there was a glitch with our return flight, Analia and BA Tours went above and beyond to get us back to Buenos Aires in time for our next tour. We felt relaxed and confident knowing all the logistics and travel details were being handled by well seasoned experts.Written March 30, 2024
- dw221a0 contributionsDefinitely RecommendVery knowledgeable guide who also spoke excellent English. Covered the major Jewish sites in BA and also did a very fascinating walking tour of the Jewish area of the city. He was very flexible and tried to customize it what we were interest in. Definitely recommend themWritten March 26, 2024
- JCJmex0 contributionsTango Show in BARecommend to book with dinner due to show time, and food was good while first time is average my steak was high quality perfectly cooked, will advise management for different sides ( grilled vegetables), using provided transportation worked seamless, that's for logistics. Then the Show, I know there are different option in BA for sure this is one of the best, the performers and whole show are one of best I have seen. Have to complain...understanding why...not allowing pictures is pretty tough, they should allow at least one window for the memories and sharing, All in: Golden StarWritten March 25, 2024
- drcm20170 contributionsA very enjoyable and entertaining eveningThe Senor Tango Show with Dinner is the show to go to. Dinner was awesome (maybe not for vegetarians) but the steak was amazing as was staff. The Venue was perfect with live horses at the start to reflect the history. And the dance, if only I could be that flexible - it was wonderful.Written March 21, 2024
- 279pattig0 contributionsIquazu Falls with ViatorIquazu Falls is magnificent. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. He took the time to answer all our questions and he pointed out so much more about the environment that we were visiting that we would not have thought to notice on our own. He took great care of us and took our abilities and limitations into consideration. What a memorable visit. Everyone at Viator, from our tour operator to the transport drivers, were just the best! Can you tell we had a great time?!Written March 19, 2024

What a wonderful way to end our vacation with Gabriel, our tour guide. We took a half day private tour of Buenos Aires. Since we had already been there for a week, Gabriel made sure we saw some interesting places that most people would miss. His background knowledge and personal stories added much to our experience. Having a driver and tour guide gave us the opportunity to visit many areas in four hours...San Telmo, La Boca, Recoleta, Plaza de Mayo. He even made sure we found the Boca jersey needed for my grandson! Definitely book a tour with BA Tour Guide....

We had a delightful 4 hour tour with Gabriel, a young history Professor as our guide and Victor as our very capable driver. We were able to visit the highlights of Buenos Aires while learning so much about the history, architecture, culture and people. Although costly, this tour was definitely worth the expense. We highly recommend this tour as a comprehensive overview of this capital city.

We had an excellent day touring Buenos Aires with our private guide Joe (Jose Malara) and driver Ricardo. By the end of the tour we had been through every major sector of BA, starting with Plaza de Mayo and finishing with the Cemeterio de la Recoleta. Joe has profound knowledge of his city which he shares with enthusiasm and charm.

In March 2018 we spend 3 wonderful days in Buenos Aires.
BA Tour Guide arranged the private guided tours and the transfers from and to the airport and took care of the reservations to the Tango Show of our choice.
Jose Luis (Joe) was our private guide. Joe really impressed us with his vast knowledge and insight. His power of expression and enjoyable company made all the beautiful places we visited come to life in a unique way and really made this tour an enlightening experience.
The driver, Vincent, too, was excellent, always on time and in good spirits.
I highly recommend BA Tour Guide and our guide Joe to everybody that is looking to spend an enjoyable vacation in beautiful Buenos Aires.
Thank you Maximo for making it happen!

Jose (or Joe as we called him) was utterly fantastic. We enjoyed 2 days of Joe guiding us around Buenos Aires and could not have asked for more. The sightseeing of the city was amazing; loved Boca with it's sidewalk cafes and Tango dancers; the Pope blessings out the balcony, the history. Joe was very knowledgeable about everything including the many tombstones in the cemetery, not just Evita's. I recommend him to anyone traveling to South America. Our Tigre Delta tour was quite interesting the 2nd day. However, Joe made all of our tours interesting and exciting.

We contacted Maximo from BA tour via email and asked several questions about Buenos Aires area that Maximo quickly answered. We also asked for suggestions. Maximo was quick to respond. He provided us with a detailed visiting schedule. The tour were well done by the English speaking guides. The guide and driver showed up on time. Vehicles were very cleaned. Rose was our guide for Buenos Aires, very knowledgeable and professional lady. She went above and beyond of what we asked for. Lorena was our guide in Iguazu Falls, highly recommend her, professional friendly and caring. One of the best guide we ever had. Thank you Maximo, Rose and especially Lorena. We really enjoyed ourselves in Argentina.

I came to BA with high school teenage students. Maximo organized a fabulous day with a professional guide to tour the city. Also, we saw a Tango show that he recommended and loved it! It was a pleasure discussing with him on the phone how to create the best experience for my group. Everything was precisely as we planned, and he was super nice and kind. Truly highly recommended!

Had a fantastic time with Jessica showing us around. We took a taxi to SanTelmo from our hotel and then walked our way back to the city centre, seeing many streets and avenues of significance. Tasting food, seeing new shops and squares connected with the historic areas. We had coffee in a lovely cafe and listened to Tango music while we sat and talked. Jessica was.very knowledgeable and answered every question we asked. We had lovely lunch in Ave de Mayo and then made our way to Recoletta and ultimately to the cemetery to see the Mousoleums and Eva Peron's resting place. We walked about 12kms for the day and saw sooo much. Used public transport, took a taxi. A great orientation to the city and assisted us to feel safe.
