My name is Alexis and I am a Philosophy teacher. I came to Berlin 7 years ago to do my PhD, which is closely related to Berlin and the history of Germany. The German capital is a living laboratory that has witnessed the most important events of the 20th century that have shaped the world as we know it today.
The streets of this city thus become a space where each and every one of us can listen and be heard: this is the main motivation that inspires me to do this work. From there the 'Side to Side' project was born, which proposes not only to look, but to see, listen and reflect on history.
The 'Side to Side' tours are structured and designed to make the most of your visit to the capital, be it short or long. We avoid repeating monuments or commercial slogans. My tours are focused on historical periods to understand the essence of each era.
Get to know the history of the city from the hand of a professional, with a close and entertaining language. If you want an exclusive tour, this is your tour. Book now :)
It was one of the best tours we did in Berlin! Alexis was great, also giving tips about the city, what to visit, where to eat...
This tour was very interesting but we had a feeling of too much information at once so our brains were overwhelmed. . I find it great that it was chronologically structured. However, sometimes the informations were passed to quickly to really get the sense. If I wasn’t into history and didn’t have any basics abt Berlin, it would have been really hard to understand. The guide was very profesional and experienced. He has a lot of knowledge!
Alexis was amazing! Loved the way he explained and the terminology he used.
Alexis is a very knowledgeable guide who shared detailed insights into Berlin's Cold War history. The tour is well-structured, visiting key sites like the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie, complemented by historical visuals shown on his iPad. Alexis is also very passionate and informative, his enthusiasm and expertise made for an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend for anyone interested in Berlin's rich history!
