Great time had By All. I have been traveling with ELG for the past few years. I find the staff to be second to none. The trips are affordable, hotel accomodations and food worth the money. The weekend is packed with activities making the time soar. The concerts have been very exciting. The artists mingle with the fans up close and personal.

As an Event Planner, it has been a pleasure to work with ELG thereby offering my clients a funfilled weekend and a bang for their buck. Plan your next weekend gettaway with ELG. You wont regret it.

Great Trip. I have used Eastern Light Getaways for 5 years now and love the trips. The concerts rock and the entertainers show up. I have seen Fantasia, Frankie Beverly and the Maze and this past winter The Isley Brothers and Stephanie Mills. Alot of great memories made with friends and family. We love the PJ party on Friday night and always dress for the occasion its so fun. The open bar is just that open and they always have a great selection of drinks. We hit the outlet stores for shopping on Saturday and the casino on Sunday. The hotels are always clean and very nice. Definetly try out a tour you will have a great time.

Nothing Like It. I have done many trips with Eastern Light both Ski trips and Seafood Getaways and all of my experiences have been wonderful the staff at Eastern Light overall works with u Julie who has been my representative from day one has always been there for any problems or questions I have had..From the Pj Parties to the Comedy Shows, Pool parties also the Theme parties my groups have always had a ball..Open Bar is exactly that with no complaints.. The Hotels that I have been to I rarely had complaints if so they were handled I do recommend going thru Eastern Light for your next getaway for I have experienced nothing but the Best!!!!

HAVE A BALL ALL WEEKEND LONG!!!. I have been doing these kind of trips now for several years. I have also used other companies but none compare to what ELG has given me in concerts,activities,hotel comfort,and customer service. No other Tour Operator has given me Top Knotch entertainment (that really shows up) like ELG. Always plenty of food to go around and the bar was always fully stocked withTopShelf brands that my friends and I enjoy to drink(Henny,Aliza,Barcardi,Absolute ect). Our trip was fun from start to finish starting from our luxury bus (we called it THE PARTY BUS)to our 1st nite @ the Pj party. I read some of the pass reviews and must say if your hotel changed "U PAID LATER THEN 30 DAYS B4 THE TRIP" as there Tour Agreement states. Any issues with the hotel stay should be address with the hotel cause at the end of the day I don't think ELG owns the hotels or the buses they just rent them. There has been some rowdy ppl on these trips I have been on but if you were talk to as if you were a child then maybe u or part of your group deserved it (just a thought) anyway this is my review of this company and there trips that I have attended in the past and plan on doing in the future......YO GO EASTERN LIGHT YA'LL ARE THE BOMB!!!

Ghettoways!. First of all I'd like everyone to know that I am of sound mind and body when I say this I'm surprized that this company was even given a license to operate. I would like to commend "Joe Scandariato" our bus driver on bus #233 that got us all safely from point A to B while dealing with rudeness from our so-called tour guides. Now speaking of the tour guides they were some of the most disfunctional, unorganized people I'd seen. They treated the adults like children, there were never any clear guidance on all of the events, one of the tour guides cursed at us and most of the time did not know how to get to half the events and the acommadations weren't the greatest at the Eisenhower Hotel. The concert wasn't bad but would have been better if we were told exactely when to get on the busses to get back to the hotel. The best meal was the last day and that ain't saying much. They charge a whole lot of money for a whole lot of nothing. So, if you want a weekend getaway where the food sucks, you get cursed at and you get treated like a child? Don't join the military just go on an Eastern Light Getaway! Not!

Concert Tours. I've been a promoter from Philly for over 20 years. The last four I have been organizing trips with this company. Tours are inexpensive and a great value which is good for my group. Since they added concerts it has helped me grow my group base, too. A real WIN - WIN!

Eastern Light Getaways Crab Feast 2011...Worst thing ever. If I could give this company a minus 10 I would. This was the worst experience ever for the15 of us and the crab feast was a crab mob! No crowd control, no guidance, no class, just a hot MESS! Roaches at the Eisenhower in Gettysburg, PA. The crabfeast was held at the Six Flags park; most of us were over 40 and had NO desire to be at an amusement park, the food was horrible at the feast AND at the Eisenhower. A true rip off and we will NEVER do that again. And they had 1 top shelf drink and that was Hennessy...the rest was mid-shelf at best. What a rip off and false advertisement for the 8/12/11-8/14/11 trip!

Best Trip Ever. I went away on the Feb. 25th weekend and had the best time. My hotel room was beautiful and the food at the hotel was good. The Eastern Light Getaways staff and hotel staff were very helpfuI. I was able to go outlet shopping. My favorite part was the concert seeing Trina, Ric Ross and Ludacris. I was sad when my weekend ended. I made new friends and can't wait to see them on my next trip!! I will go on another trip and I am bringing more friends along next time.

Babyface & Charlie Wilson. Recently back from a blowout concert at Six Flags with this company. The rains couldn't hold my group down as we partied and danced to unbelievable performances by Babyface & Charlie Wilson. Hotel we stayed at allowed us to party all night long too. Bring on the ski trip!!!!!

Worst Group Trip Experience EVER!. Attended "ski trip" the weekend of 02/18/11. While the concert featuring Fantasia and Frankie Beverly and Maze, was good, everything else about the weekend was disgraceful. Beginning with the accommodations. How can you justify shipping people off to a hotel in BALTIMORE, when they were expecting a resort in PENNSYLVANIA! Horrible experience. The hotel, in BALTIMORE, was crowed, which means they overbooked this trip by hundreds. If you wanted to do any "ski/winter activities", you had to travel an hour away from the hotel in BALTIMORE. The concert was an hour+ from the hotel in BALTIMORE. The customer service was bad, beginning with rude bus drivers and ill prepared and uninformed "tour guide/hosts". The buffet food was horrific, even by hotel food standards. It was just terrible. I honestly believe, that this company thought that since there was a lot of alcohol provided, they could get away with providing bad service and just put you up anywhere. They showed a total lack of respect for their customers. NEVER AGAIN!
