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.
This was the second tour I took with Alexis in the one day. He is a great guide and I learnt so much
Alexis is a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining
Alexis was a wonderfully passionate and thorough guide. Really knew his stuff and you can feel his genuine desire to teach and inform at every moment.
Alexis gave us a brief but very informative background of all the stops we went to. My husband and I had such a great time and wished we could have spent more time roaming around. It was definitely worth the long walk. Alexis also had a lot to share with the depth of knowledge he had on the matters discussed during the tour. Choosing Alexis was definitely a win and if ever we get the chance again, I’d choose to go with him for a different tour around the city.
Alexis was an absolutely brilliant guide who was very knowledgeable and approached this difficult subject very professionally. I fainted at the start of the tour but he was great in helping me find places to sit where I could still access the tour. Thank you!
