Tour Company Recommendations, like Tauck?

We have mainly traveled solo, but recently completed two small-group trips; OAT to Egypt and Tauck to SW US.

I am looking to book a 2 week small group trip to S America. Can anyone recommend some other tour companies similar to Tauck. I am looking for a premium tour company; OAT had great guides and was good value, but looking for a step up in lodging and dining.

Any recommendations?
Don

Since you liked your Tauck trip, is there a reason you aren't looking into their trips to South America?

I was recently on a Tauck trip (my first) and one of the couples had used Odysseys Unlimited for several trips. Not as upscale or expensive as Tauck but they said they would highly recommend them. I’m going to be looking at them because they offer an itinerary Tauck doesn’t. So you may want to check out their website.

Main reason is it’s only 12 days. Heading all the way to S Am wanted to spend about 2 1/2 weeks.

I thought that might be it. Could you take the Tauck Tour and add on some days with a local guide or something like that?
