Getting there
Pickup or meeting point
How the pickup and meeting-point options work for the Esquina Homero Manzi tango show, who each suits, and what to expect on the ride.
Reserve the Boedo tango show ↗Quick answer
The ticket includes pickup from your hotel as an option. If your pickup address is not a hotel, the operator arranges it at the nearest hotel, and if you are staying outside the pickup area you choose the meeting-point option when you book. Guests who rode the shuttle mention several stops to collect everyone, so the evening is longer with pickup than the show alone.
Two ways to arrive
The booking page offers pickup from your hotel, and a meeting-point option for guests who arrive on their own. Pickup is part of the ticket, and the booking page shows the details for your date. Meeting point means you make your own way to the place named in your confirmation. The choice changes the shape of your evening, so make it deliberately rather than by default.
How pickup works
With pickup, a vehicle collects you from a hotel before the show and takes you back afterwards. If your pickup address is not a hotel, the operator arranges the pickup at the nearest hotel. Your confirmation carries the details, so check it the day before. The ticket gives about three hours in all with the transfer, and the confirmation shows the pickup and show times. Pickup suits visitors who prefer not to find the way in the evening.
Outside the pickup area
If you are staying outside the pickup area, choose the meeting-point option when you book. The operator says it will make sure you have the details you need for a smooth start. Do not choose pickup and hope: check on the booking page whether your hotel falls inside the pickup area, and if in doubt, ask the provider before you pay.
What guests say about the ride
One guest wrote that the shuttle took a little over an hour to reach the venue because of multiple stops to collect everyone, and said that was the only drawback of an otherwise good evening. The provider replied that it would take the comment into account. Another described the pickup and drop-off service as very helpful. Both are single reviews, but together they show what to expect: a convenient ride that is not a direct one.
Making your own way
The venue gives its address as Avenida San Juan 3601, on the corner of Avenida Boedo, and a map app finds it from that address. Choose the meeting-point option if you want to arrive on your own schedule or add the show to an afternoon in the neighbourhood. The guide to Boedo suggests how to use the hours before the evening.

Late nights
Reviewers mention a late start to the show, and a pickup evening ends with the ride back, so the return can be late. Keep the next morning loose. Your confirmation shows the pickup and show times for your date. If you are travelling with young children, weigh the late finish before choosing the option.
Who this isn’t for
Pickup is not for anyone who wants the shortest possible evening or a direct drive. If you dislike shared transport, take the meeting-point option. If you need step-free access, remember that the ticket is wheelchair accessible but that you should still tell the provider about your needs when you book.
