Welcome to my profile. If you've come this far, it's because you're interested in one of my tours, and I thank you for that. I'm going to tell you a little about my professional career, and I hope we walk together sharing the exciting history of Berlin, scene of the most important events of the 20th century, the rise of Nazism and the Cold War, which are fundamental to understand the world we live in today.
I have a Bachelor in Philosophy and three master's degrees: in teaching Philosophy in secondary schools; teaching Spanish as a foreign language; and I am Extraordinary Award in the Social Studies of Science and Technology master's degree. Thanks to my excellent thesis supervisors and my internship at the Spanish National Research Council in Madrid, I learned the importance of academic accuracy and different research methodologies from internationally renowned researchers. My years of teaching in intercultural contexts allowed me to put all this knowledge into practice and taught me to adapt my discourse to different teaching contexts.
My tours are the result of my academic background, and the outcome of a conscious research process. The 'Side to Side' project was born with a very clear objective: to understand the essence of each of these historical events by walking and reflecting together on the streets, memorials, and empty spaces that, in Berlin, have so much to tell us.
If you want to know more, don't hesitate: reserve your spot while there is still availability. I hope to see you soon. Best regards and thank you for reading.
Alexis was an amaaaaazing tour guide! Super knowledgeable (literally he’s getting a PhD in this topic) and a captivating storyteller. He was able to depict a very polarizing story while allowing us to sympathize with both sides. A wonderful tour, best one I’ve experienced from Guru Tours!
I really liked the objective perspective that Alexis tries to convey in his tour. A well-thought-out, very informative, and entertaining route. Alexis is very professional, and you can notice his passion and the great research work he has done to consolidate this tour. Definitely recommended for anyone looking to understand the two sides of history.
Alexis is a very enthusiastic and informative tour guide. Alexis used a lot of pictures and videos to support the information which really helped a lot. I have never seen a tour guide which is so good as Alexis. We loved this tour (Cold War).
Highly recommended tour!
