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.
This was an absolutely fantastic tour. Alexis was a great guide and was extremely knowledgeable, going in depth on the history of what we were being shown and providing a very factual and objective overview. If you are interested in this part of history then it is a must do!
We had another wonderful tour with Alexis. I have not met a guide who is as knowledgeable yet passionate about his subject as Alexis. I highly recommend both this tour and his Nazism tour!
Alexis gave a very enthusiastic, knowledgable and interesting tour. Good information on the Berlin Wall and the cold war. The weather was not the best but it didnot spoil the tour at all.
It was a great experience to have with my friends. The tour guide was amazing, very professional, friendly and knew everything. I definitely recommend the tour for anyone interested in this part of Berlin's history
Alexis was passionate about delivering the best experience for the group. He rearranged plans to accommodate my availability which I really appreciated as this was a tour I did not want to miss during my 3 days in Berlin. His methods of engagement were professional, friendly and flexible and I learned so much as we shared the journey together. I can’t thank Alexis enough and if you’re lucky to get on one of his tours, you are in for a treat!
