Jon Baines Tours - Tailor Made & Meetings

Tailor Made & Meetings

For many years, we have been organising tailor made tours, overseas conferences and meetings. Our tailor made programme includes small private special interest groups, large medical groups, corporate conferences and golf tours. We can adapt one of our existing tours to fit a brief, or create an entirely bespoke one. We have excellent medical and historical contacts around the world, as well as many connections with ordinary locals and families.

Destinations

Below are some ideas for potential destinations to make your tour or event more successful

	Argentina Comprising almost the entire southern half of South America, Argentina combines Latin vivacity with European sophistication. It is also a land of great diversity: from vibrant and cosmopolitan Buenos Aires to wild, windswept Patagonia, with experiences ranging from fine wine tasting to the gaucho tradition.		Budapest We have organised tours and meetings in Budapest over many years. Budapest works well throughout the year with warm green springs and romantic wintry winters. It represents great value and the Danube cruises never fail to impress
	China Jon Baines has been organising professional, special interest and golf tours to China for 14 years. Consequently we have built up a huge range of contacts, hotels, speakers, visits, restaurants and guides and can tailor make the perfect tour or meeting for you.		Cruising We have operated a number of cruises, from large ships to private yachts. We often combine a cruise with private escorted shore excursions. The larger ships offer dedicated meeting rooms for private talks or meetings.
	Cuba Cuba is an island like no other in the world, combining natural beauty with vivaciousness and its famous music, as well as being irrevocably shaped by its singular history and politics. We can draw on all these influences through our contacts to make your event in Cuba quite exceptional.		Dubrovnik This city has a fantastic setting, beautiful architecture, rich history, and it still manages to represent that increasingly rare thing - a good value European destination.
	Istanbul This is an exceptional destination with a wealth of history, wide range of hotels, excellent restaurants and a spectacular setting. We have operated a number of special interest tours and events here over many years and have access to some enthralling speakers, knowledgeable guides and interesting venues.		South India The south of India is a beautiful, tranquil and cultured land. The home of Ayurvedic Medicine and Keralan Cuisine, Southern India is dotted with Maharajah’s palaces, colonial hill stations, tea plantations and spice farms, making this a wonderful place to visit.
	Syria We have found Syria to be one of our most popular destinations, with its combination of extraordinary historical sites, spectacular landscapes and rich culture, as well as the warmth of its hospitality. It is also fascinating from the perspective of medical history.		Vietnam Aidan Reynolds, our Operations Manager, lived and worked in Vietnam for six years as a tour leader and manager in travel companies. We run regular professional, golf and cultural tours to Vietnam and consequently are up to date on this fascinating and fast changing destination.
