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 wonderful team is our engine, fuel and spark. We're a tight-knit, family-owned team that combine a love of travel and life with an extraordinary range of skills and experience in our London and Melbourne offices. The co-owners, Jon and Karen, are British and Australian respectively, hence such a global presence for a boutique company. The advantage to this is local attention and knowledge with a global reach, as well as someone being on call 24/7.
We try to include visits to local community projects on our tours. These visits shine a light on the issues faced by communities, and the innovative solutions practiced. We hope our visits can help raise the profile of these projects, and we commit to providing a donation after each visit.
Local projects we supportThis 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.
A wonderful group, excellent leader (Nicky Leap). How lucky we were to have an Icelandic midwife as our local guide, she knew many of the midwives we met. Excellent visits – Iceland must be the leading light in midwifery. Food excellent, far better than I expected, we did have fruit and vegetables every day.
