always room to roam with extra space between you
and other travelers—while still getting up close and
personal with fascinating attractions.

6Trusted,
Tried & True.
The world of travel may have changed, but one thing remains the same.
Globus is still the trusted travel expert—making it easy and hassle free
to maneuver through each new landscape. As our guest, you don’t have
to worry about many of the “touch points” of travel—including luggage
handling, or check-in/check-out contact. Our carefully screened
hotels are required to meet our high standards for health and
cleanliness practices. Globus gives you included VIP access
and preferred entry into the most popular sites, so you
can skip the lines and the crowds. Our motorcoaches and
airport transfer vehicles are maintained to the highest
level of cleanliness with your comfort, safety, and health
in mind. Regular sanitizing and cleaning protocols
mean you can sit back and relax, enjoy the view, and
arrive at each destination safe and sound.
With nearly a century of escorting travelers around the world, Globus
has perfected the art of travel planning. Our global network of ON-TRIP
travel partners and suppliers keeps us up to date on any and all ASSURANCE
travel guidelines, protocols, safety measures, and local laws in
each destination. All you need to know is where you want to go!

Dreams Realized.
Savor a shrimp off the barbie, snuggle up to a koala,
or speed along the rails through the Australian
outback. Every Globus tour always includes the
legendary landmarks, the major attractions, and
the must-sees in history. Going beyond the iconic
exteriors, we lead you to the front of the line, straight
through the door, and inside the walls of the South
Pacific’s most awe-inspiring places for an exclusive
look behind the scenes. With priority access, we
ensure you behold the sights you’ve long dreamed
of—without the wait.
Skip the Lines Those long queues you’ve heard about at the most
popular attractions? Don’t worry. You won’t be standing in them. We
arrange VIP access at the legendary sights so you can mosey in, marvel,
and move on to the next “must” on your bucket list.
8Do as the Locals Do.
When in Rome—or Sydney, Melbourne, or Auckland—we arrange for you to do as the locals do, not just
what the tourists do. In every itinerary, we include hands-on, authentic experiences for a true taste of
a day in the life. Learn to hang ten on Bondi Beach or rub elbows with kangaroos in their outback
sanctuary. Feast in a forest with the warriors of Tamaki Máori in Rotorua, or breathe in the bouquet
of a New Zealand wine in Queenstown. Say hello to the devil on the Tasmanian Peninsula or see
angelfish through a glass-bottom boat off Cairns. Dance to the tune of different cultures and
walk in someone else’s shoes to experience the world from an insider’s perspective.
Local Favorites Local Favorites are unique insider experiences you wouldn’t find
traveling on your own—and they’re a highlight of every Globus vacation. To see which
Local Favorites are included on each tour, just look for the icons highlighted in every itinerary.

A Friend in Every City.
Join us and a few of our friends in your next dream destination. After all, we’ve spent over 90 years making
friends in virtually every city and country in the world who let us in on local secrets, like where to find the best
markets, meals, and masterpieces; the best vantage point; or the views not everyone gets to see. Every Globus
vacation includes local experts to share the stories behind the sights and local favorites you won’t find in the
guidebooks. Globus Tour Directors and Local Guides hail from the region through which you’re traveling. No one
is more familiar, passionate, or eager to share insider knowledge than our local pros!
10Meet Juliet.
Since graduating with a degree in tourism, Juliet has
followed her passion for travel, food, and Australia as
a student, tour director, and teacher of travel. Since
joining Globus four years ago, she continues her
philosophy of sharing stories, experiences, and insight
that bring our guests’ travel dreams to life. Sharing
the sunset and stars at Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the
fjords of Milford Sound makes Juliet’s heart flutter,
but the letters and photographs she receives from
her guests after a vacation “Down Under” brings real
joy to this Aussie’s heart! In her off time, Juliet enjoys
swimming and sailing off Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

Adventure, A la Carte.
While a Globus tour gets you up close to the must-sees and introduces you to special
moments in time, it also allows for time to create memorable moments of your own—those
serendipitous snippets that can’t be planned or scheduled. We build freedom into every
itinerary so you can explore by trail ride, zip line, or vintage wine. Don’t wait a lifetime for
that once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s waiting just around the corner!
12Pick your Passion.
Maybe you’re an art lover, a foodie, or a history buff.
Perhaps you’re moved by music and dance, or the
great outdoors. We offer a creative menu of optional
excursions and activities—tailored to a variety of
fitness levels—so you can customize your adventure
with your own personal passions and preferences.
Each Globus excursion and activity has been tested
by us and handpicked just for you! You never have to
choose between included and optional excursions,
since optional activities fit seamlessly with your
vacation schedule!
Visit MyGlobus Don’t delay in plotting the delicious details. Once
you’ve booked a Globus tour, you can create a MyGlobus account to
start tailoring your vacation with optional excursions and outings well
before your journey.

Dedicated to
Making a
Difference.
The Globus family of brands is committed to sustainable travel
practices. We are fortunate to have shared the world with travelers of
all walks of life for more than 90 years, and we make it our responsibility
to protect the people and places we visit and cherish around the world.
Globus takes you behind the scenes to witness the lasting legacy of
Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. We
support Steve’s passionate work in conservation by donating hospital
tour proceeds to help his “Wildlife Warriors” care for wildlife in crisis.
Now in the trusted hands of his wife, Terri, and their children Bindi and
Robert, the Australia Zoo continues to thrill visitors and carry on the
message and life’s work of its founder. You can join us in this cause
while seeing skilled and caring veterinarians and conservationists who
work tirelessly to rescue and treat sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife,
including kangaroos, koalas, dingoes, platypus, large saltwater
crocodiles, birds, and more.
14Caring for the Places
we’re Sharing with you.
Environmentally With the philosophy, “take memories; leave
only footprints,” we strive to protect and preserve each extraordinary
destination for its people, wildlife, and future travelers by finding
meaningful ways to reduce our environmental footprint.

destinations home are very generous in sharing their cultures and locales
with us. It’s important for us to return the favor by supporting our local
communities and improving the individual lives within them.
Childsafe Network | Tourism Cares Traveler Icons Program
Economically It really is a small world after all, and it’s a
gift worth protecting. We are dedicated to respecting the unique and
extraordinary cultures around the world—and are proud to boost local
economies through responsible tourism.

We’ve Spent Over 90 Years
Planning your Vacation.
When you select a Globus vacation, you’re choosing experience, passion, and perfection. Our dedication
began over nine decades ago when a young Antonio Mantegazza became inspired to share the
stories of his home while using his family’s rowboat to transport lumber across beautiful
Lake Lugano in Switzerland. He soon began transporting tourists instead, and what
began on a spring day in 1928 blossomed into the worldwide name in travel.
And We’ve Made Many Friends Along the Way. When you’ve
been showing the world to travelers for more than nine decades, people take
notice. It’s not just our travelers who rave about the Globus experience.
Year after year, we are honored to be recognized by our esteemed
colleagues in the travel industry as well.

Down Under Discovery
QUEENSTOWN
18AN AUSTRALIAN TRADITION
Crikey! If you’ve always wanted a complete tour of Down
Under, with no red stone left uncovered, this is it. Doubling
the fun with sightseeing in Australia and New Zealand,
this exciting vacation covers New Zealand’s North and
South Islands as well as Australia’s vibrant cities, golden
beaches, and mystical Red Center. From Rotorua’s boiling
mud pools to Waitomo’s Glowworm Caves, you’ll kick off
your tour with the hottest—and coolest—sights of New
Zealand. Aptly named “The Remarkables,” the South
Island’s mountain range sets the tone for the incredible
sights you’ll see throughout the land of the kiwi—and the
home of the kangaroo. As you hop from Melbourne to
Uluru to Cairns to Sydney, you’ll savor the architectural
masterpieces of Australia’s renowned cities, the natural
wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, and everyone’s favorite
highlight of this encompassing journey—a boomerang-
throwing barbecue under the starlit Outback sky.
We’ve prepared everything you need for the perfect vacation—from transfers
to and from your hotel and included intra-vacation flights to expert Local
Guides and included VIP sightseeing access to the world’s iconic sites. Your
Globus Tour Director is always there to help you make the most out of your
