Learn to ride and play polo outside Buenos Aires with Polo Elite, including transport, equipment, patient instruction, and two riding sessions.
“My wife and I had only 1-1/2 days in Buenos Aires, and on a whim, and based on Trip Advisor reviews, we decided to try the Polo Elite polo lessons. My wife had ridden horses many years ago, but I never had. The head of Polo Elite, Fernando Nieto, picked up up from BA and drove us to the horse ranch/polo field, located near Ezeiza Airport. I was a little nervous; these weren't little ponies, but tall horses bred for the tough sport of polo. But Fernando patiently showed me how to ride the horse, and not to be afraid of it. Once I got the hang of it, we…”

Learn Argentine tango in a private one-hour lesson in Buenos Aires, with patient English-speaking instructors and flexible studio locations.
“Rodrigo was excellent and taught us basic Tango steps in such a short time. We had no previous experience in dancing the Tango but with a few hiccups we came through it and Rodrigo captured us dancing Tango relatively well for first timers 😁 Rodrigo's passion and love for Tango was clear to see, you could visibly see him feeling it when teaching the steps in time with the music. Was a great way to start out day and we may even take in a few classes when we head home if my wife has her way 😜”

“The cooking class was great! A nice environment and a professional teacher. Procedures and related information were well explained. It was fun to learn how to make empanadas, a beef and an ice-cream with dulce de leche. Of course, it was a good experience to enjoy the food I cooked together with cheese and red wine prepared by the teacher. Highly recommend the class.”

“We took an Uber to the address given in the description. When we got there we were told it was cancelled. No reason no notice. We walked a bit to take a taxi since we didn’t have WiFi and could not take our pre arranged uber to go home. Never the less this ended up costing about 20 bucks and over an hour of my time. Btw still when I got back to WiFi this was still not cancelled! Hoping to get at least the money I paid for this but I won’t get back my wasted time on a vacation and my 20 bucks! Do not recommend. No customer…”

“My husband and I attended the Tango show with the optional lesson and had such a great time! The instructors were professional and dancers in the show. It was fun to learn some steps from them and then get to see their performances. Dinner was 3 courses with wine with nice selections. Service was fast and attentive. We are so glad we went because it really embodied the spirit of Buenos Aires and created a wonderful memory.”
Learn Argentine tango in a private Buenos Aires studio with a patient teacher, flexible locations, and a friendly lesson for every skill level.
“We came to the class with 5 lessons in the US but found this hour to be the best training we have received. Veronica checked our basics, provided gentle feedback , and then introduced more advanced steps. I recommend some dance shoes and some water if you plan to work intermediate moves. It is one of the funnest things we did in B.A.”

“I really loved my time at Expanish Buenos Aires. I took the 20-hour intensive courses for a period of 4 weeks. I also opted for a homestay (without meals). From the beginning it is encouraged to speak Spanish at school, and therefore my Spanish improved significantly! Really useful for my travels after the school. It's great how the school also emerge you into local live in Buenos Aires. I took part in many of the activities, and it's a great way to get to know the beautiful city of Buenos Aires, meet fellow students and practice your Spanish in a low-key manner. Expanish is not just a school, but an…”
