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 gave an excellent walking tour of Berlin. In three hours we covered a huge amount of history, but it never felt rushed or dry. Would reccomend!
Alexis was a super guide...he took things at our pace and was informative as well as knowledgeable about the subject matter. He showed us lots of information on the ipad which really helped illustrate the information. He also sent lots of more information after tge tour on many things to see in Berlin. We enjoyed the tour immensely.
Alexis ist ein leidenschaftlicher Guide aus Spanien, dessen Begeisterung sofort ansteckt. Er erklärt mit viel Herzblut, Humor und einem charmanten englischen Akzent, der die Tour noch authentischer macht. Seine Geschichten sind lebendig, gut verständlich und voller spannender Details. Im 21. Jahrhundert angekommen, nutzt er ein iPad für seine Erklärungen – praktisch, aber die klassischen Papierbilder sind manchmal sogar besser sichtbar. Dieser kleine Mix aus modern und traditionell macht seine Touren umso sympathischer. Man merkt, dass er seinen Job liebt und grossen Wert darauf legt, dass sich alle wohlfühlen und etwas Neues mitnehmen. Eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die eine Tour mit Persönlichkeit und echter Leidenschaft erleben möchten.
Absolutely brilliant tour, Alexis had such passion for the subject, it added a lot to the tour. Thank you, Alexis!
Very enthusiastic and professional!
