Secreto Tango: Intimate, Up-Close Tango Show in Buenos Aires
About This Experience
Secreto Tango is the counter-programme to the big dinner shows. There is no theatre, no revue and no three-course menu: just a small Palermo room holding around thirty to forty guests, live musicians, and dancers working close enough that you can hear their feet on the floor.
That proximity is the entire proposition, and the ratings back it. At 4.9 across more than 160 reviews it is the highest-rated show compared on this site, and 93% of English-speaking travellers have given it a perfect score. A multilingual host works in English and Spanish, so nothing needs translating afterwards.
Wine is unlimited during the performance. Sessions come in two formats — Original and Grand — each sold as first or second row, and the venue address is sent after booking rather than published. The show runs about an hour.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.9/5 by 166 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
We loved the show. Beautiful. I wouldn't add anything else. Congratulations to everyone!
— Roberto, August
This show far exceeded our expectations! There were only 5 members of the show and each of them made contact with the audience in some way. The venue was classy and beautiful and there wasn’t a detail left out. The quality of the performances made it feel like a more expensive production. It was an incredible value and unforgettable experience. This show was worth far more than the ticket price. Our favorite show in Buenos Aires! We hope to go again! Bravo!!
— Jennifer, August
An intimate and fantastic experience. A private show of the highest quality. It far exceeded our expectations. Unlike the big shows in theaters and nightclubs, Secreto Tango gives you the feeling of being inside the dance, the music, and the production. I recommend it!
