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.
First trip with Jon Baines. David was such a wonderful, caring tour leader. Choice of guide perfect. They both did so much more than you would expect.
I have had a wonderful tour. Janice was brilliant at organising us all and bringing us all together as a group. She was constantly upbeat, in control. Coco was a delight. I have enormously enjoyed spending time with her. Hiroshima Memorial museum was probably the highlight of the tour. The oyster meal in Hiroshima was a high point as was the Kobe beef dinner.
This tour is suitable for both medical and non medical individuals / couples. The history of egypt was amazing as was networking and meeting people from all walks of life. Amir was a great source of local knowledge - friendly and very helpful. Great food and service with lots of choice.
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.
