    Thank you for your feedback. Our Costsaver itineraries are purposely designed to allow our guests the freedom to undertake independent sightseeing or leisure time, with the opportunity to join our Optional Experience for a more in-depth guided experience as needed. However, our sister brand, Trafalgar, may be of interest for itineraries with more included meals, better-located hotels and Optional Experiences. That said, we still hope that you have taken lots of lasting highlights away from your time in South America.
