HERE ARE SOME COMMON QUESTIONS

Getting Started
Group Promoting
You will be under no obligation or guarantee of any kind if you choose to promote a group. And there is no minimum requirement. If you book, you will only be expected to share the free event information you will be receiving from us. And if there is interest, you will need to forward collected payments from passengers who sign up and maintain the list of participants. Credit card processing has made this much easier.
To become a group leader, select the event you wish to promote and choose Get More Info or call (215) 504-4000. Our experienced group coordinator team is ready to help get you started.
There two main benefits to promoting with Soul Nation Events. First, you can make money on every one who goes on your trip. Most group leaders will add $10 – $20 onto our prices for fund raising purposes. In addition, you can earn free trips when you meet certain group participation numbers depending on the event type. Usually, you can travel free for a group of 22 paid on weekends and 15 paid on day trips. There many special promotions, too. See tour event for what is being offered.
Also, we provide free full-color online and hard copy flyers / promoter cards.
Once you request to promote a group, an experienced representative will contact you and help support you throughout the process.
It’s easy. Simply request More Info in any of our event pages or call Soul Nation Events at (215) 504-4000. Experienced professionals are ready to assist you in selecting the right event, and they will guide you throughout the process of organizing your group.
If your group size does not fill the bus, your promoter has the option to buy out the empty seats, or be mixed with other groups. There are so many groups attending our events that we almost always have convenient pickups in route to your assigned destination. Pickup times may be changed to accommodate the newly revised travel schedule.
Also, your group discounted rates are guaranteed when sharing a bus.

General Tour Questions
If your group size is comprised of 20 people or less, then your time and/or location is subject to change. Please check with your group leader for exact departure time and location.
Please note the following: Group leaders are always offered the option to buy out the remaining bus seats to avoid being mixed with another group. Similar to the airlines, there are numerous uncontrollable variables that can affect departure times and transfers such as traffic, weather, or the need for multiple pickups in route. Despite these variables, we have a 95 percent on-time hotel arrival rating.
Every room comes with either one bed or two beds. There are a limited amount of two-bedded rooms at each hotel. As a result, group leaders can only request 50 percent (half of their rooms) as two-bedded room types. These are usually reserved for the triple and quad occupancy rooms needed, and then on a first come, first serve basis. You will need to check with your group leader to confirm.
Some properties have pull out sofas in their single bedded rooms that can be used as two beds, and roll-away cots are also an option upon request.
If we do not receive the needed information or final payment from your group leader by the stated deadline, it makes it impossible for us to confirm your group’s hotel. Once a “late” final payment is received, we offer the hotels that have space available, and the group leader can accept this location for their group, or choose to receive a refund. Refunds in this instance will incur late fees. While this situation is possible, it rarely ever occurs. Over 95 percent of our groups end up going to their original location.
Winter Weekends: The standard departing time from the hotel is between 4:30 PM – 5:00PM. That is following a 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM dinner.
Crab Feast Weekends: The standard departing time from the hotel is 12 noon. Please note that there may be an en-route activty stop scheduled on your way home. Check your itinerary for more information.
Late night food is not included as part of any tour package. All hotels are full service properties and there is a good chance they will be offering something for purchase from them.
Also, hotels are usually located close to nearby food delivery services. Please check with the hotel front desk for available vendors.
