I would think twice about Globus. We requested a full bed - got twins. The bus rides in the Yukon were very long. The included meals were not up to par. The final "going Away"dinner followed directly on a long bus trip. We didn't have a chance to freshen up and change for this important party. We never received the booking package and had to have one shipped specially just before the trip. There were no name tags - we still didn't know everyone's name after two weeks together.
