Following a career in publishing Jon Baines started Jon Baines Tours in 2006 in London. Initially the company focussed on creating and running health care study tours but over time tours examining theology, botany and natural history were created. Jon moved with his family to Melbourne in 2010 and opened an office in the city. All tours are led by tour leaders and many Australian tour leaders have led tours to destinations including Greece, Turkey, Spain, Morocco, China and India etc. These leaders have included Professor Kerryn Phelps, Associate Professor Vicki Kotsirilos, Dr Matt Young, Dr Deborah Mills and Professor John Pearn. Many tours are run with associations and medical colleges including the RACGP. Jon now runs over 40 specialist tours a year to a rage of professions and special interests.
