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.
Amazing tour, and amazing guide!
Alexis is very well informed and delivers the information in a professional and entertaining manner. A very enjoyable and worthwhile experience
Alexis fue un genial guía y sin duda recomendaría hacer el tour con él. Además, no se limitó a exponer hechos si no que también quiso hacernos reflexionar sobre la naturaleza del conflicto.
We've done two tours with Alexis, on two different days: the Cold War tour and the III Reich tour. As he himself has said, we've walked 14 km together - about six hours of walking around in Berlin. Both of Alexis' tours are very well structured and thoroughly researched; you can tell he puts in the time in preparing them. He also does an extremely good job when presenting the topics: there's an effort in explaining all perspectives, gray areas included. Alexis is able to explain very complex topics in a uniquely humane way. Last but not least, he will also share with you a document with thematic movies, books, and songs around the tour, as well as restaurants and bars for you to visit - we've tried a few of them and they were all worth it. And because Berlin is not all about war, there's also something in this document for that. In short, we highly recommend this tour with Alexis - have fun in Berlin!
