Our History
The INSIGHT TRAVEL story begins with Mr. Bob Ashworth, a former Volunteer
Services Organization,(VSO) Field director for Ghana.
After living in Ghana and realising that the best way of experiencing Ghana
was to be in the company of Ghanaians, he set up Insight Travel in Preston. UK. Refer to lonely planet travel survival kit,
2nd edition, page 301. Ghana The Bradt Travel Guide, 3rd edition, page 274.
Today, Insight Travel is run by two brothers, Isaac Amo-Kyereme
and Michael Yeboah Kyereme. Insight travel organizes tailor made individual holidays and group tours to Ghana.
We believe tourism must make sense for the tourist. It is easy to provide
excellent accommodation and food, but it becomes memories soon. Life long friendships formed remains forever and
that is what we specialise in providing.
We are able to organise for you drumming, dance, language and textile printing
lessons. The opportunity to share with the Ghanaian society your strength skills and knowledge as a volunteer can
also be arranged for you.
Our trips are suitable for people of all ages and all backgrounds.
Because we do specialised tours we tailor your day trips and activities to suit your age and health. The Elderly,couples and
women have especially enjoyed these homestays.

Below is a sample of what some of our previous guests wrote in our visitor's book.
We have had the most wonderful time, truly the experience of a life time and one that will live with us
for ever.
We certainly fell in love with Ghana and it was wonderful to see the places and meet the people. Everything
worked out exactly right.
When you arranged a driver for us we had no idea what that little word "driver" actually meant.
Godwin was fantastic. His skill in coping with all the different roads and traffic was beyond compare. On
top of that he was kind, caring, always concerned for our welfare and nothing too much for him. He was a wonderful source
of knowledge and had a lovely sense of humour. He really did make the trip for us. Please pass on our very grateful
thanks to him.
The hard part is now adjusting back to English life!
Thank you so much for all your help in arranging
this trip and for coping with all our questions! We would have no hesitation in recommending Insight Tours to any one wanting
to visit Ghana.
With very many thanks,
Andy, Wendy and Anna Bryant August 2007.
We had an amazing holiday - quite an unforgettable experience. It was lovely
also to meet your family. They were very welcoming and hospitable. Do pass on our thanks to them. Martina
and Godwin looked after us beautifully. We feel we have made so many good friends in your lovely country.
Thank you for everything. Please use our names to recommend your holidays
to any future clients, if you wish.

Hello Isaac
We had a fantastic trip to your country. Thank you very
much for all your help organising it. We learnt so much about Ghana.
Martina
was a delight and very helpful and we had a great time with Godwin driving us around. It was also a pleasure and an honour
to meet your parents and stay in their home.
I will recommend your company to anyone planning to travel to Ghana, and I will recommend Ghana as a top destination in Africa.

with tripadvisor.com on insight as well. Should be posted in the next few days.

"For folks with a little more
money and not much time, I'd recommend using Insight Travel.
They furnish a car and driver, and can arrange accommodation if you wish. For the car, driver and fuel it's close to $100
a day, but we didn't have any delays and the driver has acted like a tour and cultural guide. We've been able to see much
more in a short period of time than if we were using public transport". (John Selig, Mar 04) www.bradtguides.com
