Alchemists were chemists in the ancient world whose ambition was to turn base metal into GOLD. They did not succeed but had lots of fun trying! The objective at Alchemy Tours is to give you a gold standard tour telling you interesting and entertaining stories of our history, our heritage and everyday life here in Ireland.
Hi, my name is Neal ‘Armstrong’ Doherty and I have been guiding visitors to my country for many years now. I love to show-off Ireland to my clients and tell the stories of our history and legends. In addition to being a tourist guide I have also written two books:
- The Complete Guide to the Statues and Sculptures of Dublin
- The Complete Guide to the Streets of Dublin.
Whichever tour you choose, I promise that you will have a very enjoyable visit and will hear lots of memorable stories and anecdotes that you will be able to take home to your friends and family.
Check my availability on my Calendar.
Customisable Tours
There are a number of designated tours but if you have some subject or area in which you are particularly interested please let me know and I will tailor the tour to your needs. I provide tours for private clients from cruise ships in Dublin, Galway and Killybegs. I also provide tours for clients in hotels such as Ashford Castle, Ballynahinch Castle and Mount Falcon. For people on golf tours I can offer a guided tour to WAGS visiting Co Mayo.
Transportation
The transportation for your tour will be a Land Rover Discovery. The vehicle can carry up to six passengers and gives a better view of the scenery than a saloon car due to its height. On the more adventurous tours it can also access areas that are not accessible to other vehicles. If your group has more than 6 people, I can organise a larger vehicle at an additional cost. Please contact me for further details. If you have your own transport, I can ‘jump on’ and give you the guided tour as you do the driving. Please contact me for further details.
