World Leaders in Elective Surgery
Incredible savings with impeccable credentials
Jackie has done the research for you.
Since 2009, Jackie has been personally taking groups overseas for surgery. With over 50 years in the travel industry, she has built genuine connections with the very best surgeons, hospitals, and hotels.
Trust is everything when it comes to your health.
That's exactly what working with a professional is all about.
It can be frightening enough facing life-changing surgery. Now imagine doing it overseas, in a
hospital you know nothing about, in a country where English isn't the first language — and doing
it all on your own.
Who is there to translate what's being said?
Who is there to make sure your needs are understood?
Who is there to hold your hand and guide you through this journey?
When you travel with Jackie, you're never doing this alone. You have the security of travelling
with others, and the reassurance of one of the most experienced travel guides in the world, by
your side every step of the way.
Going it alone shouldn't be part of the journey.
Experience the joy of other cultures
Why go on a tour
Every package comes with Jackie's hand-picked accommodation, chosen to actually suit your needs. Think affordable, quality hotels, close to the hospitals and dental surgeries, and — because let's be honest, recovery deserves a reward — within easy reach of some great shopping too.
Every package includes transport to and from the airport, plus transfers to and from every single medical appointment. No taxis to wrangle, no directions to figure out in a language you don't speak.
From the hotel staff to the drivers to the entire medical team, everyone treats Jackie's clients like friends and family, not just another booking. They'll go out of their way to make your stay relaxing, comfortable, and yes, even fun.
As the old saying goes: you'll always do more for a friend than for someone you just work for. That's exactly the kind of care you'll get here.
“Not Just a Tour — A Journey with Jackie”
Whether you choose to join a group tour or travel independently, you’ll still receive the same dedicated care and attention — it’s all about what works best for you.
Please note: All escorted tours are based on a minimum of five travellers. If fewer than five are booked, you will be transferred to the next available escorted tour to ensure a smooth and supported experience.
Make lifelong friends who know exactly what you have achieved
