Private tango lesson and Argentine cooking in Buenos Aires, with a 3-course meal, wine tasting, and small-group class at El Arte de Amasar.
“First, very nice man and nice tango teacher. It would have been a great experience except we had transportation issues getting there and then found out it was not actually a private class. It was our last night in Argentina and we chose this particular class because it was listed as private and we wanted the time alone with our adult kids…when we got there we found out there were two other couples.

“We had a wonderful day with Juanse as our host. Whilst I chose not to ride, my travel partner, who is an experienced rider had a fantastic time watching the morning chuckas, learning the basics and then getting to play some polo with the group and the support staff. He specifically noted how well the day was run to include people with varied (including none) riding experience. Lunch was great - lots of various meats, veggies and wine or juice etc. as a non rider I really enjoyed the park like grounds, the birds, watching the games, and the dogs - bring your binoculars. All round positive and fun day.”
