TOURING—THE PERFECT WAY TO ENJOY ASIA
Dreaming of the perfectly planned vacation? Look no further than a Globus tour. Where to go, where to stay, what to see, how to get around—
we take care of all the logistics for you. Our team of travel experts knows what it takes to really enjoy seeing Asia...professional Tour Directors who
bring your destinations to life, superior hotels that are often mere steps from the greatest attractions, a variety of transportation modes, and
guided sightseeing that’s included—moving you right to the head of the line at the must-see sites. We even let you choose additional experiences
to personalize your journey before you even depart. So, join us on a Globus tour. You’ll enjoy every minute.
SMALL GROUPS, BIG EXPERIENCES
Sometimes, less is more. And when it comes to truly immersing yourself into the local cultures of Asia, a Globus Small-Group Discovery vacation is the
best way to experience these remarkable destinations. We never allow more than 20 guests on these vacations, so while you still have ample opportunity
to meet new friends, a smaller group ratio means more personalized service from beginning to end. Small-Group Discoveries—another way Globus
delivers the very best journeys to Asia. Just look for the SG next to the vacations on the next page.

OUR STORY BEGAN NEARLY NINE
DECADES AGO
When you select a Globus vacation, you’re choosing a company
that has defined the way today’s travelers experience the world. It
all began on a spring day in 1928. While using his family’s rowboat
to transport lumber across beautiful Lake Lugano in Switzerland,
Antonio Mantegazza became inspired to share the stories of his
home with others. He soon began transporting tourists instead…
and Globus was born.
THE WORLD’S MOST HIGHLY AWARDED TOUR OPERATOR
When you do things the right way...for the right reasons, people
notice. By delivering an outstanding travel experience and focusing
on our travelers—every time—we’ve earned more accolades than
any other tour operator.
COMMITTED TO OUR PLANET
We’re committed to protecting the places we visit. By employing
environmentally friendly motorcoaches and partnering with
preservation and sustainability initiatives, we’re working to
ensure the world’s icons will be here to thrill travelers for
generations to come.

This morning, drive to Hanoi and board your flight to Siem Reap, which
will act as your base during your visit to Angkor, considered by many to
be the most spectacular architectural ruins on Earth! (B,L,D)
DAY 11 SIEM REAP.
This morning, start your sightseeing of the TEMPLES OF ANGKOR.
Constructed between the 9th and 13th centuries, the temples were
built around the Khmer interpretations of Indian religious and political
beliefs that ultimately evolved from Hinduism to Buddhism. The complex
architectural grandeur of the Angkor temples is arguably unmatched
among ancient ruins anywhere in the world. First, visit the best preserved
and most famous of all the temples, ANGKOR WAT, honoring the Hindu
god Vishnu. Featuring five trademark towers and stunning bas-reliefs,
it has become a symbol of Cambodia. Next stop is ANGKOR THOM to
see the BAYON TEMPLE. One of the few Buddhist temples in Angkor, it
features some 200 striking faces carved in 54 towers and impressive bas-
reliefs. The rest of the afternoon is at leisure. This evening, witness one of
the world’s most amazing experiences: sunset at Angkor Wat! (B,L)

Today, continue your sightseeing of the Angkor temples. Visit BANTEAY
SREI, a unique temple dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva that was
built on a small scale from red sandstone, which can be carved like
wood. Unlike the other temples, TA PROHM has been left relatively
untouched. Surrounded by jungle, tree roots grow over and through the
ruin walls, and you will experience the temple with the same wonder as
the early explorers who discovered it. This afternoon, enjoy a bit of time
at your leisure. This evening, enjoy a traditional APSARA DANCE
PERFORMANCE, where the ancient Khmer culture is brought to life by
talented dancers, singers, and musicians. (B,D)

WHAT TO KNOW
BEFORE YOU GO
YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT YOU GET
OUR ITINERARIES TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT’S INCLUDED
Read our tour descriptions and you’ll understand the real value we offer.
Each day’s agenda is spelled out, with inside visits and special features
indicated in UPPERCASE, so you know exactly what’s included in the price.
HAND-SELECTED HOTELS
Excellent accommodations are vital to your enjoyment on vacation, and
we’re proud to be associated with some of the world’s finest hotels, most
of which are deluxe (D), superior first-class (SF), first-class (F), or moderate
first-class (MF). In remote areas, there may be no hotels available in these
categories, so we choose the best available (BA) hotels. Each hotel is rated
by our quality controllers following standards set by the independent Hotel
Travel Index and by national tourist boards. Hotels are listed on itinerary
pages, although it may be necessary to substitute with an alternate hotel
of equivalent standard. Your travel documents will list hotel addresses with
telephone and fax numbers, plus you can find more details on our website.
INCLUDED MEALS
With Globus, mealtimes are designed to help you enjoy the best of each
city along the way. Start each day of your vacation the right way—with an
included breakfast! The type of breakfast you’ll enjoy is specified in each
itinerary. Lunch and dinner highlights are tailored to each vacation and
may include welcome and farewell dinners, as well as lunches and dinners
at local restaurants to give you a true taste of your destination. Plus, we
give you freedom to take advantage of the best a city has to offer by not
inluding lunches and dinners where dining locally is a major attraction.
NOTE: We typically cannot process requests for special meals. Some
hotels and restaurants may be able to provide for a special diet—
vegetarian, salt-free, etc.—but there is no way to guarantee this and if
available, there may be an additional charge associated. Please ask your
Tour Director for assistance.
THE FINEST TEAM OF TRAVEL EXPERTS
With Globus, you benefit from the expertise we bring to every vacation.
We set very high standards and are dedicated to selecting the right
Tour Directors, Local Guides, and Local Hosts. These experts are from
the region through which you’re traveling, and they share their vast
knowledge of the areas and help you maximize each moment. Beyond the
professionals you meet on tour are the men and women working diligently
behind the scenes. Our extensive technical support network carefully
monitors vacations in progress, ensuring your trip goes smoothly and
allowing us to deliver unique, quality travel experiences every time.
TRAVEL IN STYLE
When you step aboard your Globus private motorcoach you’ll be immediately
impressed by the comfort and amenities: reclining seats equipped with
individual air-conditioning vents, high-fidelity speakers so you won’t miss
a moment of Tour Director commentary, and extra leg room. While other
companies install and sell 53 seats, our average group size is just 36 travelers,
so you’ll enjoy more seat space. For the comfort of all passengers, our
motorcoaches are non-smoking, however, there are opportunities to smoke
during the frequent stops. We also have a custom of daily seat rotation to
ensure everyone benefits from a variety of views.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
GLOBUS.COM.AU
WHAT SIZE CAN MY SUITCASE BE?
Due to limited motorcoach capacity, your bag should have dimensions
not exceeding 46x53x28cm (30”x21”x11”) or weight exceeding 22 kg
(50 lbs.) Carry-on bag dimensions should not exceed 30x28x14cm
(12”x11”x6”). We are unable to accept a second suitcase or any luggage
exceeding these limits. Some vacations may have other restrictions,
which will be noted in your Travel Documents.
Please note that air carriers, cruise lines, and other forms of transportation
may have other restrictions and requirements, including weight, and
we recommend that you contact the suppliers directly for additional
information. Some airlines also charge fees for checked baggage, and
these fees are not included in the vacation or airfare package price. Check
with your airline directly for baggage information and regulations. Globus is
not responsible for additional baggage fees imposed by air carriers.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TWIN-BEDDED ROOM
A DOUBLE ROOM?
A double room is a room designed to accommodate two people, though
not necessarily with two separate beds. A twin-bedded room has two
separate beds of any size; this is what we usually reserve for our guests.
WHAT SIZE IS A TRIPLE ROOM?
A triple room is the same size as a twin bedded room. It will have beds to
accommodate three people, but we cannot guarantee there will be more
than two beds. If there are only two beds, a rollaway may be requested
but is not guaranteed.
HOW IS SEATING DETERMINED ON THE MOTORCOACH?
We offer daily rotation of seating, which gives everyone a variety of views.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY TRAVEL DOCUMENTS?
Travel documents, including applicable eTicket receipts, itineraries and
other information, are sent approximately 2-3 weeks prior to departure,
provided full payment and emergency contact details have been received.
WHAT IS THE SAFETYNET PROTECTION POLICY?
To ensure your trip is worry- and hassle-free, even when booking, Globus
offers two “SafetyNet” options for AU$75 per person. You have the
opportunity to select either SafetyNet Transfer Protection OR SafetyNet
Cancellation Protection to best suit your needs or concerns.
SafetyNet Transfer Protection enables Globus passengers to amend
tour bookings up to 24 hours prior to the departure date to another tour
departing in the same year of travel, (once only) without any applicable
cancellation charges or penalties.
OR
SafetyNet Cancellation Protection enables Globus passengers to cancel
their tour in full, up to 30 days prior to the tour departure date, without any
applicable cancellation charges or penalties.
This additional coverage costs only AU$75 per person, per booking (not
per tour), and must be paid at the time of the tour deposit. Please refer to
Globus’ Website Globus.com.au for full details and conditions.

not be available as described; please visit our website for up-to-date
information, including Terms Conditions and details regarding payment.
WHY AM I ASKED TO GIVE MY PASSPORT NAME, GENDER
DATE OF BIRTH WHEN BOOKING FLIGHTS?
Due to increased travel security around the world, the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) requires airlines to collect this information
in accordance with the Secure Flight Program enacted by the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security. TSA information must exactly match
the full passport name. The airline reservation must match the first and
last name. If this information is not accurate, you may not be allowed to
board the plane. It is important to provide this information accurately at
the time of booking, as any changes to your air booking, which includes
spelling, could be subject to a change fee, penalties, higher fares, new
schedule, and/or cancellation.
WHY IS MY CONTACT INFORMATION COLLECTED WHEN I BOOK?
There may be times when unforeseen events beyond our control impact
travel schedules and potentially disrupt cruises, tours, or packages. These
include, but are not limited to, severe weather conditions, acts of nature,
and government travel advisories. Under such circumstances, it is critical
that the Globus family of brands be able to contact you immediately and
reliably—including nights, weekends, and holidays—to make sure we’ve
informed you of any possible changes to your travel.
DO I NEED A PASSPORT A VISA?
When traveling outside your home country, a passport is required.
Some countries require a visa. All travelers should consult with
appropriate consulates to determine if any visas are needed.
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE GLOBUS?
Globus vacations are designed to offer you flexibility, choice, and a pace
that best fits the way you want to travel. Globus offers MORE included
features, MORE quality hotels, and MORE experience, with more than

SAFETYNET PROTECTION POLICY
Globus is dedicated to ensuring your trip is worry and hassle free, even
when booking. Should you be uncertain what your commitments will
be leading up to your departure, Globus offer a SafetyNet Protection
policy*, for $75 per person (payable at time of deposit).
The SafetyNet Transfer Protection* enables Globus passengers to
amend their tour up to 24 hours prior to the tour departure date to
another tour departing in 2016, (once only) without any applicable
cancellation charges or penalties. OR you can utilise The SafetyNet
Cancellation Protection* which enables Globus passengers to cancel
their tour in full – up to 30 days prior to the tour departure date in 2016,
without any applicable cancellation charges or penalties.
*CONDITIONS OF THE SAFETYNET PROTECTION POLICY
The $75 SafetyNet Protection must be paid at the time of the tour
deposit and is payable per person per booking (not per tour) and
is non-refundable.
The SafetyNet Transfer Protection and SafetyNet Cancellation
Protection applies to the tour, associated pre/post accommodation
and transfers booked directly with Globus. The SafetyNet Protection
does not apply to any airfares booked and ticketed via Globus, or
any products purchased via another wholesale or retail supplier.
The SafetyNet Protection does not apply to any service charge or
cancellation fee charged to you by your Travel Agent.
Passengers can only use “one” of the two SafetyNet Protection
Policies; choose either the SafetyNet Transfer Protection, or the
SafetyNet Cancellation Protection, not both. For example: if a
