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.
I've taken many city and World War II tours, and I can say without a doubt that Alexis’s tour is the best one I have experienced in different European cities. There is an incredible amount of historical information, facts, including those that are not widely known, as well as photos, anecdotes, and even humor. If you are interested in the history of World War II and Communism, this is the tour for you, and Alexis is your guide. Highly recommended, 200%.
It’s my first time in Berlin and I am a person who loves to connect the places with their history. For this reason, the tour with Alexis was an excellent choice! He gave us a very good picture of what happened during the Cold War and we understood how life was in East Berlin. The places we visited were very nice and Alexis managed to “travel” us through this historical period. He is a very knowledgeable guide, he explained us everything and all the experience was really pleasant and however the duration was 3 hours, I didn’t understand when it was finished. I suggest it undoubtedly!!
