Jon Baines Tours is a specialist travel company curating veterinary, medical and cultural study tours and cruises to destinations around the world.

Jon Baines Tours are the absolute experts at creating niche, small-group itineraries that you won’t find anywhere else.
We combine a cultural study tour, visiting all the famous sites, as well as plenty that are off the beaten track, with a highly specialised professional itinerary with visits tailored to veterinarians, midwives, physiotherapists, optometrists, engineers, or other professions. Alternatively, we can create a specialist cultural study tour that explores botanical history, the history of medicine, or a similar topic.
Our tour leaders are not travel professionals, but experts in their particular fields, working with specialist local guides who provide the local information. So you will have a respected veterinarian leading the veterinary study tours.

The one thing that makes us different from our competitors is our connection with the locals.
We focus on engaging with locals in both creating and running the tours. We collaborate with local veterinarians, charities, and academics to develop our itineraries, which always include visits to local practitioners and presentations by local experts. This provides real insight into both the veterinary medicine and the culture and society of the country you are visiting. We also support local projects, NGOs and charities.

We can make your life easier by always having a real person on the end of the phone to discuss a tour that reflects your interests.
And we always deliver an authentic travel experience with locals who have relevant lived experience, including vets on the ground, as well as fellow travellers with like-minded perspectives.
