Day 1, Saturday |
You will be picked up from the airport and transferred to Becka Tango House (BTH). A welcome reception will be held with champagne and hors d'oeuvres so you will get a chance to get acquainted with everyone. After a bit of rest, we will take a walking tour of our neighborhood, and get acquainted with this never sleeping city and its people. Since your night is free, you can go to dinner with the other tour members, or simply rest! If you wish, much later at night, you can accompany Becka to one of the tango clubs. It will be optional. |

Day 2, Sunday |
Today is the best day for a half day city tour. But before that, you will have Becka's special breakfast served from 8:30 to 10:00am. At 11:00am, you will take your first Argentine tango lessons and experience the beauty, mystery, and difficulty of this marvelous dance. Wear comfortable shoes for today.
After your lesson ends, your tour guide will pick you up at 2:00pm to take you for a fantastic tour. In these 4 hours, you will go to almost all the interesting places of this city such as the colorful neighborhood of La Boca, where tango was born by the immigrants who settled there, as well as the ritzy neighborhood of Recoleta where you will visit the tomb of the most famous lady of Argentina, Evita Peron. You will visit the grand Cathedral before going to San Telmo neighborhood, where you will stay for the rest of the afternoon. Here you can hop around the beautiful antique shops, as well as enjoying the open air tango shows. It is the best place to spend your afternoon/evening on a Sunday! The night is open for your own plans. Becka will be glad to give you suggestions.

Day 9, Sunday
|
Today is your last day with Becka Tango Tours. We will have our last breakfast together at the same time. After the breakfast, I will serve you Armenian coffee and ask you for one last thing—for each one of you to fill out a questioner about the Becka Tango Tours experience. You may fill it out by hand or on computer. This is to help Becka know the strong points as well as the weak points of the tour. The rest of the afternoon you are free to do your last minute shopping or just relax at home. Becka will be home to call for taxi at your chosen time. It is suggested to be at the airport 3 hours in advance.
Farewell dear new friends!!! Please visit us again!
