A few of the most popular places visited by tours in the Philippines include Manila, El Nido, Puerto Princesa, Coron, and Cebu City.


Christmas & New Years Tours vs. Independent Travel: Pros and Cons

Before deciding to book a tour or handle the planning yourself, it's important to consider the aspects of each travel style.

Pros
  • Festive itineraries tailored to holiday themes.
  • All logistics and planning are handled for you.
  • Opportunities to visit famous Christmas markets or New Year's events.
  • Enjoy local holiday traditions with expert guidance.
  • Group activities bring a festive, social atmosphere.
  • Stress-free transportation and accommodation arrangements.
  • Special holiday meals or treats are often included.
  • Learn cultural insights about Christmas traditions from locals.
Cons
  • Less flexibility to customize activities or schedules.
  • Group dynamics may not suit everyone.
  • Strict timelines might reduce leisure time.
  • Limited opportunities for private family moments.
  • Some holiday traditions might feel commercialized.


Pros
  • Customize your itinerary to suit your family’s preferences.
  • Greater flexibility in choosing destinations and activities.
  • Spend holiday moments in private or intimate settings.
  • Freedom to experience lesser-known holiday events or markets.
Cons
  • Time-consuming to research holiday events and accommodations.
  • Must handle transportation and logistics yourself.
  • Higher prices and limited availability during peak season.
  • Risk of missing popular events without advance booking.
  • Requires extra effort to balance relaxation with activities.
  • Unexpected weather or closures can disrupt plans.
  • Harder to fully relax when managing all the details.


Which is cheaper?

Can you save money by traveling independently instead of joining guided Christmas & New Years tours? It's not a simple yes or no. Tours usually include key expenses such as lodging, transportation, meals, entry fees, guides, and activities, which you'd need to manage and pay for individually on your own trip. To figure out the difference, compare the total tour price with the cost of making your own arrangements. Depending on your choices—like opting for budget hotels or premium dining—the cost of a tour might be higher or lower. Be sure to examine the tour inclusions carefully when comparing.

Also, before booking a tour, make sure you know exactly what is included as tour companies sometimes change their itineraries or included amenities to keep them updated with seasonal changes and customer interests.
