Us and About the tours
From
the ashes of the Las Vegas Backpackers
Emma
Andrews, Rick Halligan and Luke Ryan see themselves as pretty well
seasoned travellers. With over 18 years combined travelling experience,
work experience in 8 countries from Bolivia to Ghana and
having visited every continent on the planet, they reckon
they know a bit about backpacking…
Its
this knowledge and experience of travelling and working
within the tourism sector coupled with their in depth knowledge
of their own country and culture, that gives them the desire
to showcase Great Britain and what it means to the Brits,
in a way they themselves would appreciate when abroad.

Emma, Rick and Luke first met while working in the same hostel in Las
Vegas, Emma was the hostel manager when Rick became the
entertainments manager. Luke had been working in the same backpackers as a bin man and he worked his way up to manage the tour desk. A great friendship and an even better
partnership was born and after a successful fun packed year
they said farewell and went their separate ways to hit the
road again. A few years later with a couple of intermittent meetings and drunken evenings together, they had all returned to the
UK and decided to come together again to form a company
specifically aimed at young independent travellers.
Ideas were flung around, issues raised and dealt with and
missions made.
And so, Carry on Tours was born.

Why call yourself Carry On Tours?
For those of you who don't know, the Carry On movies were a series of movies with a cheeky, slightly slapstick and very typically British humour. The stars of the films, Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Barbara Windsor, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims to name but a few, were masters of the art of parody and double entendre.
