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 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. 9
| A World Beyond.sm 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! 10
Meet 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.

| 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 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! 12
Pick 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. COSMOS.CO.UK 13
| A World Beyond.sm 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. 14

| A World Beyond.sm 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. 16
