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.
