“I discovered and fell in love with tango the moment I stepped into my first milonga. From that day on, my passion for this dance has only grown stronger. I’ve written a book of short stories about tango, captured its essence through photography in milongas, and continue to dance with ever-growing devotion.”

The Tours
Cultural tango walking tour and milonga experience
We begin by walking through the streets of Buenos Aires, where tango was born — uncovering its history, its poets, its music, and the neighborhoods that gave it life. As we explore the city on foot, tango reveals itself not only as a dance, but as a profound cultural expression rooted in everyday life.
The tour culminates in a visit to an authentic milonga, where we witness social tango as it truly is: spontaneous, intimate, and rich in codes and traditions. Watching the dancers and decoding the etiquette with the guidance of a local expert turns the experience into something uniquely insightful.
More than a show, this is a deep, guided immersion into the living culture of tango.
- Included:
- English & Spanish guide
- 3,5 Hours duration
- Glass of wine/soda/coffee

The tour continues with a visit to an authentic milonga, where we witness social tango in its true essence: spontaneous, intimate, and rich in codes and traditions. Upon arrival, participants join a group class alongside other foreigners or local regulars — a fun and unique moment that allows them to experience tango through their own body and movement. During the class, the guide will accompany them as a translator, partner, and support, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and included.
After the class, guests may choose to try their first basic steps on the dance floor with real milongueros or just sit and observe the unfolding of the milonga while they uncover the unspoken codes and rich traditions of this quintessential porteño ritual with the help of their local guide and expert, who provides context, stories, and insights to decode what’s happening on and off the dance floor.

What My Guests Say
Join the hundreds of travelers who have discovered the soul of tango on my tour through the city’s most authentic corners.
María was a wonderful guide! I brought my mother in law and son to Buenos Aires to dance tango since my son has been taking tango lessons. I wanted a more local experience but was intimidated to go into a milonga by ourselves. I found Maria on Airbnb experiences and she was very easy to communicate with. We first learned about the history of tango and then She brought us to a milonga and taught us the milonga etiquette. Maria took my son out on the dance floor to “break the ice” and from that moment on my son was asked to dance all night long by both men and women and had a blast! Thank you Maria for this wonderful local experience! I highly recommend!!
I received friends who live abroad interested in learning something about the origins of tango and I found this tour to be the ideal experience for them to learn about the history and a milonga, something very different from a tango show. María not only took us to see places in the city but, through her story in perfect English, she also took us on a journey through the history of tango from its origins to the present day. Then, the visit to the milonga was a surprising, interesting and fun experience.
As an Argentinian, it is comforting to know that an expert guide like María knows how to show our tango to the world and dresses us in such a pleasant and interesting way.
100% recommended experience.

It was my first time in Buenos Aires, and Maria made it unforgettable. She takes you to some must see spots, and because of all her knowledge it becomes an unique experience. Thank you Maria! I had a lot of fun!
Last December my family had such a wonderful evening with Maria Ines. We learnt all about the history of the tango, then visited a tango hall to watch some amazing dancing. It was one of the most memorable times for me. Thank you and love from Bill, John, Milo, Teo and Otto
This tango tour exceeded my expectations! Maria Ines is a brilliant guide, she provided a captivating exploration of tango's history and evolution and topped it off with a visit to an authentic milonga, a social gathering where tango is danced. If you're keen to learn about the real tango, beyond the tourist traps, this tour is a must!
This tour was one of the most incredible things I did in Buenos Aires. I truly loved the way Maria took you through the history of tango, which is an essential part of the culture of this great city, and she was also an amazing guide. Highly recommended!!
Great tour! Loved hearing about the history of Tango while seeing the actual historical buildings and landmarks in real time. Also, ending the tour at a real tango house that locals go to was so cool! Highly recommend!!
Discover the inner world of tango through my book Entre La Patagonia y el Tango
This book was born spontaneously—from a hilarious anecdote starring a dear friend, from the irresistible urge to dance tango day and night, and above all, from a deep longing to be at the milonga even when I was miles away, living for a time in Patagonia.
Immersing myself in writing these stories became a kind of milonguero placebo, soothing both my mind and my feet —which, as they wandered along the beaches of Lake Nahuel Huapi in Patagonia, imagined themselves strapped into high heels, gliding across the dance floor, swept away by the music and the tango embrace.
English version coming soon.
