What people love about USA Tours in December
- National Parks Winter Tour
This is a tour that gives you a sample of the several landmark views of Death Valley (1-day trip) and Grand Canyon / Monument Valley / Zion (3-day trip). Since the parks are huge, you spend a lot of time going from one place to the other using their van. The van was comfortable and spacious. The tour guides are very friendly and knowledgeable about history and other aspects of the places we visited. This is a great trip to know the key landmarks and views from the park.
- Wild West – 5 days
Well in my view people make tours great and this was a great tour, highly recommended. Mike was fun to be around and always went out of his way to ensure people where looked after all hours of the day and night. Roberto had an easy going nature and managed all incidents with ease. Brenda, Seipe, and the drivers where just themselves being good friendly people. Overall tour run very professionally with very genuine people who are credit to the business. Thanks for the memories, Nick Groves.

The country comes alive with holiday festivities in December. The Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena California stands out as a major attraction drawing crowds to see its flower-covered floats and live performances. Las Vegas transforms with seasonal entertainment including special winter shows at venues like the Luxor Hotel. New York City builds excitement throughout the month as Times Square prepares for its famous New Year's celebration. One visitor called the Rose Parade "a bucket list event and totally worth it."
Which hotels are recommended for USA December tours?
Several properties excel during the winter season. The Jekyll Island Club in Georgia becomes especially charming with its holiday décor while the Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa provides prime ocean views. The LINQ Hotel offers a central location on the Las Vegas Strip. Guest feedback consistently mentions the seasonal atmosphere with one visitor noting "The Jekyll Island Club was beautifully decorated for Christmas and provided an authentic historic experience."
What are the best National Parks to visit in USA during December?
Winter creates unique conditions in America's western parks. Yellowstone's geysers create ethereal scenes against the snow while Death Valley offers pleasant temperatures for exploring. The Grand Canyon often features snow along its rims creating exceptional photography conditions. Visitors regularly comment on the special winter atmosphere with one noting "The moisture in the air falls like diamonds in a sparkly haze - it's what many visitors come for. Wildlife sightings are world-class in the winter."
How crowded are major tourist attractions in USA during December?
December brings peak season crowds to destinations like Las Vegas and Hawaii particularly around the holidays. National parks however tend to see fewer visitors during this time. Tour operators emphasize booking early especially for popular spots like Waikiki Beach where properties such as the Outrigger Kona Resort reach capacity well in advance.
How far in advance should I book a USA tour for December?
Planning ahead is essential for December travel especially for tours featuring holiday events like the Tournament of Roses Parade or New Year's Eve in Las Vegas. Most operators suggest securing bookings 6-8 months ahead. This applies particularly to winter programs in national parks like Yellowstone. Tour companies report that December reservations often start filling up in March or April with premium holiday dates booking first.
