Jon Baines Tours is a specialist travel company curating medical, professional non-medical, and cultural study tours and cruises to destinations around the world.
Our passion is for creating experiences that dig beneath the surface. We curate authentic, enriching experiences for the curious mind - with specialist access to a country, its culture and its practices. We create our own tours, but also work with a number of associations to create tours for their members.
Our tour leaders are hand picked for their professional and personal experience, their personalities, and passion for the subject – it's what makes our tours.
We have a global network of local contacts which allows us to curate tours with privileged, specialist access to professionals and sites of interest.
Get the opportunity to travel, network and connect with like-minded people, creating friendships lasting beyond the end of the tour.
We pride ourselves in offering excellent service with a personal touch. You are only ever a phone call away from someone happy to help.
All our tours are either ATOL or TOPP protected and we are members of AITO. This means should anything happen, you will be protected.
As usual, (tour leader) David Shannon did a great job as tour leader – kept us well informed of each day’s activities and spoke well at the professional visits. (National guide) Coco was a fabulous, caring and interesting guide – well informed and very organised.
This was a wonderful trip to this exotic country. Chantelle was excellent in every aspect. She was very conscientious, worked very hard and we fully appreciated her.
Loved the whole experience. Blew away a whole lot of misconceptions about Iran. Full of admiration for the country and the people.
Each tour has something different to offer, from five-star luxury to more challenging rugged outdoor adventures. Here are some of our favourite upcoming tours.
