My name is Alexis and I am a Philosophy teacher. I came to Berlin 7 years ago to study a PhD. 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 :)
Really enjoyed this tour - my first ever walking tour. Alexis was easy to find and chatty and interesting to follow. The tour focussed on the 'big hitters' around Brandenburg Gate so it'd be a great tour for a first time Berlin visitor, but if you've been in the past and done some sites this may be a bit repetitive. Alexis anecdotes were good to hear and he had a good way of getting people talking.
It was such a good experience to be carefully and purposely guided through such difficult subject matter. Alexis takes you along heavy subject matter with facts, thought provoking questions, some wonderful gossip, with seriousness and humanity about the steps we walk together. Very insightful and well brought together as a history and the whys and hows. It was wonderful to experience the group come together and gel so quickly. Wonderful!
Superb: knowledgeable, personable, thought provoking. A nice three hour walk learning a great deal about Berlin pre and post wall. Alexis is passionate, thoughtful and clearly knows his stuff.
I loved the fact Alexis weaved philosophical questioning into the factual history. He cleverly presented both sides without biais ......great tour
