AtticPhysi was founded in 2008 by Sean O'Sullivan, whose deep love for Ireland's history, landscapes, and culture inspired him to create a tourism company that would showcase the true essence of the Emerald Isle to visitors from around the world.
What began as a small operation offering guided tours around Dublin has grown into one of Ireland's most respected tourism companies, with a dedicated team of local experts who share Sean's passion for authentic Irish experiences.
Our name "AtticPhysi" combines "Attic" (representing the treasured memories we help create) and "Physi" (from the Irish word "físeach" meaning visionary), reflecting our commitment to creating meaningful, forward-thinking travel experiences.
Today, we remain true to our founding vision: helping travelers connect with Ireland's beauty, history, and people in ways that go beyond typical tourist experiences.
