Hello World!
For more than 90 years, we’ve been greeting the most fascinating places around the world with unmatched
intrigue, curiosity, and wonder. Along the way, we’ve discovered the sights you must see, encountered
the people you must meet, engaged in the customs you must try, and indulged in the cuisine you
must taste. From the world’s heart-pumping cosmopolitan cities to its tiny heartwarming towns,
it is our greatest passion to share the joys we’ve uncovered—experiences that go beyond
the landmarks and thoroughfares to the lesser known avenues that get you up close to
our local favorites—and our favorite locals. By bundling our unrivaled knowledge
with superior accommodations, first-class transportation, and unique
inclusions, you too get to greet the globe on a journey beyond ordinary.

cleanliness practices. Globus gives you included VIP access
and preferred entry into the most popular sites, so you

Dreams Realized.
See the shrines, pagodas, and temples of Tokyo and
Kyoto, and find serenity in the art of a Japanese
garden. Survey the armies of the Terracotta
Warriors—still standing guard over the Emperor after
2,000 years. Find your zen in a Tai Chi class or take a
train passage in India for a safari to find leopards and
tigers and bears! 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 Asia’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.
8
Do as the Locals Do.
When in Rome—or Delhi, Shanghai, or Tokyo, 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.
Sip sake in Takayama or traditional Japanese tea in Tokyo. Say “aww” at China’s giant panda research
base in Chengdu or take a rickshaw ride through Delhi’s famous outdoor bazaar. Learn to cast a wide
net in Vietnam with a local fisherman on Hoi An’s Thu Bon River. 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 monuments; 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 Keiko.
Having lived in both North and South America, it
is Keiko’s experience as a secretary to Japanese
diplomats, an interpreter, and host to international
visitors that enhances her expertise and passion in
sharing Japan’s authentic locales and experiences.
Today, Keiko’s greatest satisfaction is guiding Globus
travelers and seeing the enjoyment and wonder in her
guests. When not guiding tours in Kyoto and other
beautiful destinations in Japan, Keiko continues to
enjoy learning with visits to museums and restaurants,
and cooking healthy recipes!
Exclusive Travel Tool
A fabulous freebie, the GlobusGO mobile app provides a world of
pre- and on-trip information at your fingertips. Stay on top of
flight schedules and itineraries, get dining, sightseeing and entertainment
recommendations, easily navigate local streets with GPS directions, plus

GLOBUSJOURNEYS.CA 11| A World Beyond.sm
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 river, rickshaw, or rail. 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. Our partnership with Landmine Design, a social
enterprise committed to providing education and employment
for women living in poverty in Cambodia, has provided
dozens of women with the opportunity to support
their families by creating handcrafted jewelry
from beautiful hand-rolled paper beads. By
helping these talented women to work at
home with their children and avoid the
dangers of traveling to neighboring cities
for work, we are helping to create hope
where there once was despair.
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.

Socially The people and communities who call our travel
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.

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.

cities. Timeless traditions.
Like a classic Chinese
dumpling, this tour of China
is filled with flavor, zest,
and delectable elements of
surprise. From the hutongs
of Beijing to the longtangs
of Shanghai, you’ll savor
every Far East experience
you’ve ever craved, including
a rickshaw ride through
Beijing’s narrow alleyways,
a walk along the Great Wall,
and a 3-night cruise through
the magnificent Three
Gorges of the winding,
wondrous Yangtze, Asia’s
longest river. This truly
hands-on vacation will
teach you the bold strokes
of Chinese calligraphy,
the calming practice of tai
chi, and the delicate art
of making traditional dim
sum, the dumpling whose
name means “to touch the
heart.” Expect additional
flutters when you enter
the Forbidden City, stand
before Xi’an’s Terracotta
Army, and observe the daily
habits of the native panda
at Chengdu’s Giant Panda
Research Base.

GLOBUSJOURNEYS.CA 21What’s the most important
thing to bring on a journey
to Vietnam and Cambodia?
Your bargaining skills! The
art of haggling is a must
at the bustling markets of
Hanoi, Siem Reap, and Ho
Chi Minh City where you can
negotiate everything from
luxurious silk to colorful
ceramics to a tasty bowl
of pho. The number one
rule of thumb—always be
willing to walk away. Luckily
there’s so much to walk
toward on this colorful tour
of Southeast Asia, including
the fascinating wartime
tunnels of Cu Chi, a fishing
lesson on the Thu Bon River,
and a breezy city cyclo
ride around vibrant Hanoi.
The picturesque pagodas
of Hue and Hanoi are just
a taste of what’s to come
at the mystical temples of
Angkor. Inside the “City
of the God Kings,” you’ll
find the architecturally
magnificent ruins of Angkor
Wat delightfully much more
than you bargained for.
We’ve prepared everything you
need for the perfect vacation—from
transfers to and from your hotel

to expert Local Guides and included
VIP sightseeing access to the world’s
iconic sites. Your Globus Tour Director
