“Disruptive staff service. Before the show started (almost 40 minutes late) I chose to pay for the glass of wine we ordered, so that we wouldn't have to during or after the show. The cashier pulled our bill I paid what he asked. Fortunately I asked for a receipt. About half way into the show a staff member interrupted me an asked that we pay our bill. I present the paid receipt, but they insisted there was still a problem. They also stated we owned for our seats (we had purchsed Viator tickets, and presented them when we entered). My wife and I left our seats and followed the staff…”

A private tango lesson paired with a hands-on Argentine cooking class in Buenos Aires, ending with a 3-course meal and wine.
“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. Although they were nice people and Saul was kind…it was not what was advertised. The teacher stayed extra for us since we were late which was very kind…but if you want a private class make sure and…”
