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.
Very friendly and understanding. Was incredibly informative.
A very knowledgeable guide with a great pedagogical attitude as he is also a teacher. Well done!
I did the “Berlin and Nazism: Rise and Fall of the Empire” walking tour with Alexis and it was genuinely amazing. He’s an incredible guide — not just knowledgeable, but passionate, clear, and respectful with how he handles incredibly heavy history. The tour runs for about 3 hours and takes you through the most significant Nazi-era sites in Berlin: from Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag, to memorials like those for the Sinti community, the Holocaust Memorial, the location above the Hitler Führerbunker, the so-called Street of Terror where the SS and Gestapo once ruled, and ends near the Topography of Terror documentation centre — all given context and meaning rather than being just photo stops. There is also a break at a beautiful coffee shop and very well needed as it was -10 today in the snow. What really stood out was Alexis’s ability to make this difficult subject accessible without being sensational. He explained the rise of Nazism, the machinery of power behind it, the diverse stories of victims and even lesser-known groups targeted by the regime — and he did it with thoughtfulness, sensitivity, and an encouraging way of making you think and reflect not just listen. He has a clear passion for this. He also shared little extras — personal insights, memory prompts, and even local tips for the rest of your Berlin stay. Easily one of the best tours I’ve experienced, and felt like a must-do while in Berlin. Highly recommend!
Alexis fue un guía espectacular, muy didáctico y divertido. Aguanteee!!!
