Oscar Horacio’s guide to tango in Buenos Aires

We had always dreamed of visiting South America, and as music lovers, there was no question: Buenos Aires had to be our first stop. My husband and I, both passionate about dancing, had long admired the city’s iconic tango from afar, but this was our chance to experience it up close. Arriving at Ezeiza airport, we were filled with excitement, as it was our first time in Argentina and everything felt so new.

Our travel agency had thought of everything, and Oscar Horacio, our private chauffeur, was waiting for us after we cleared customs at the airport. He greeted us in a warm and polite manner before guiding us to his elegant Mercedes sedan. The car was comfortable and stylish—the perfect start to our Argentina holidays.

As Oscar Horacio drove us through the streets of Buenos Aires, we discovered he shared our passion for music, especially tango. Over the week, he became our guide into the soul of the city. He introduced us to the best places for tango, far from the typical tourist paths. We found ourselves in hidden gems where locals gather, places filled with authentic passion and raw energy. We watched dancers whose movements told stories, and musicians whose melodies carried us away. It was everything we had imagined and more.

Oscar Horacio’s recommendations for venues to visit were always spot-on. Whether it was an intimate milonga where we learned a few steps ourselves or a small club with a live band that made our hearts race, every night felt like magic. He always made sure we were comfortable and safe, but more importantly, he showed us the true Buenos Aires—the one that pulses with life and rhythm.

On our last day, as we headed back to Ezeiza, I felt a pang of sadness as the holidays were over. But my husband and I promised each other we would return. There’s so much more to discover, and I know it will be another unforgettable experience. And, who knows, maybe we will be fortunate to have Oscar Horacio’s guide again next time.
