What people love about USA Tours in December
- National Parks Winter Tour
Fantastic tour. Grand Canyon with helicopter flight, walk around the rim to trail head lookout, sunset views and after great Mexican feed and night in local motel sunrise views. Monument Valley - John Wayne country was spectacular. Antelope Canyon a photographic delight and Zion national park beautiful. Jenny was a knowledgable, friendly, organised guide. I would highly recommend this tour
- 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.
- Best of Utah & Arizona National Parks
It was GREAT! Wonderful views and hikes with an incredible group of people. The tour leader (Chad) shared information on possible hikes in the parks we visited that fit our level of fitness. We did several hikes as a group and he made sure we were all safe and happy. Quite a feat! Definitely a 5 star review and a trip that just makes me want to travel again!
What our customers ask about USA Tours in December 2025
What is the weather like in different regions of USA during December?
December brings distinct weather patterns across the United States. The South maintains comfortable conditions with temperatures near 60°F (15°C) in places like Georgia and South Carolina. Hawaii stays reliably warm at 75-80°F (23-26°C) making it ideal for beach activities and hiking. The Southwest sees cool days that shift to cold nights while destinations like Las Vegas average 57°F (14°C). Recent visitors note the conditions are particularly good for outdoor activities with one traveler sharing "perfect hiking weather in Sedona during December."
What special events and festivals can I experience in USA during December?
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.
