Hola, soy Mary, guía turística profesional especializada en historia de las ideologías, la Europa de los siglos XIX y XX y ciencias políticas. Llevo cuatro años viviendo en Berlín, donde adquirí mi primera experiencia como guía turística trabajando para la empresa líder en el mercado comercial. Crecí en Varsovia, donde mis raíces judías/polacas y la experiencia familiar me impulsaron a interesarme profundamente por la historia europea. Estudié en el Collegium MISH de la Universidad de Varsovia, que permite a estudiantes con amplios intereses académicos combinar clases de todas las facultades en un programa individual e interdisciplinario. Tuve la suerte de aprender de algunos de los mejores historiadores, sociólogos y otros autores contemporáneos, lo que me proporcionó un alto nivel de comprensión de la historia moderna y una sólida capacidad para analizar sus consecuencias. Posteriormente, trabajando como enlace con periodistas, pude intercambiar experiencias con periodistas de todo el mundo y de diversos contextos culturales, y practicar la explicación de temas sociohistóricos complejos de forma accesible pero exhaustiva. En un mundo con tanta tensión política, decidí dedicar mi vida a transmitir la mayor cantidad posible de estos conocimientos. Ahora ofrezco mis tours independientes intentando contrarrestar la tendencia actual de maximizar las ganancias sacrificando la precisión histórica. Tras la desregulación de la profesión, se convirtió en norma promocionar narrativas problemáticas o incluso engañosas como si representaran la más alta calidad académica. Es fácil explotar el hecho de que los invitados, que casi nunca son historiadores de formación, simplemente "no saben lo que no saben". Mi objetivo es combinar mi formación, mi experiencia profesional y familiar para ofrecer una explicación comprensible incluso de los procesos y fenómenos más complejos que moldearon a Alemania y al mundo tal como es hoy. Espero que me acompañen y disfruten de una experiencia no solo entretenida, sino también realmente valiosa en mi tour.
The value of this tour definitely goes beyond mere statistics. It is a full immersion in history, geopolitics and current affairs. Mary is definitely one of the most dedicated, educated and open minded I have had the pleasure to met. Time flew by and after the first 30 minutes it felt like spending the day with your witty, knowledgeable friend. She is committed to give you 101% of her skills and knowledge to ensure you understand the full picture of what's already been and what could happen. The tour is designed for everyone's comfort, she went as far as bringing padded pillows and feet warmers for everyone and made sure we were warm and dry. If history's the best teacher then for sure Mary Is a great student. Give yourself a gift and stay away from the same old same old. Top 3 tours in my life (and I tooo a disgusting lot cause I am a hopeless nerd)
Mary challenges us to look at the warnings of repeating the past mistakes. From family experiences growing up in Poland and extensive research Mary provides a thought provoking look at our history in Europe. Remembering that there was much good in what we now seems bad, helps remind us not to be blinded by the light where darkness exists. This tour is not your typical sightseeing tour and it is not for the narrow minded. We can genuinely recommend the tour if you would like to understand our shared western history and some practical thoughts for today.
Consiglio questo tour a chi vuole approfondire da una prospettiva nuova e unica la storia di Berlino. Mary è stata gentilissima, estremamente competente e aperta al dialogo. Ottima esperienza!
This was much more than a guided tour. What might seem like walk through Berlin, turned out to be a deep philosophical, economical and sociological dive into past, deeply connected the present. All while admiring the most significant places in Berlin’s history. Come in only if your open to let Mary make you challenge your views. With unique, sometimes personal takes and strong academic background, she goes way beyond history and far wider than Berlin, and it’s absolutely worth it. Mary also took great care of our comfort, making sure we are warm throughout the whole tour at the beginning of cold January.
Mary was fantastic, she cares so deeply for history and the world’s current politics. The parallels drawn were profound. An excellent deep dive where she is capable of answering any questions you might ask. From a woke perspective #speaktomary
