We are Valencia Inside!
A beautiful city with lots of history, culture and entertainment and a team of engaging, licensed, english speaking guides - THE perfect combination for your stay in Valencia!
Since 2015 we - Eline van den Heuvel and Stephanie Schulz - are here for you: Classic guided walking tours, excursions to the wine region, your company's event... We offer tailor-made tours and events for you and your family (also with kids and teenagers), friends or company. We prefer entertaining tours over too many numbers and dates or boring history (but don't worry, we got that covered, too!). You will rather hear little stories, interesting legends and details about every-day-life of the Valencians to give you a good overview of the city. During our english guided tours we offer lots of recommendations about what to do in Valencia, where to eat the best Paella, which museum is worth your time, where to buy the most authentic souvenirs, and so on....
We only work with official licensed guides who speak great English and have a wide knowledge about Valencia and Spain. The following values are key to us: authenticity, punctuality, uniqueness, flexibility and first-class-organisation from A to Z.
We are looking forward to welcome you to Valencia, and to help you to make the most of your visit to our beautiful city.

I call Valencia home since 2011. Moving here was no coincidence, but a well thought decision for this city. I studied German history and language. While studying and afterwards I travelled a lot, and even lived 5 years in Paris and one year in Orlando, Florida. Working as a tour guide during that time I had a chance to learn and experience the ins and outs of tourism, especially during my many years with Adventures by Disney, a Walt Disney Company owned travel agency specialised in entertaining tours for families around the world. After many years 'on the road' I felt like finding my 'forever home'. I visited 10 Spanish cities to decide where to live. After only two hours of walking around Valencia I was sold: great weather, fantastic food, nice people and the Mediterranean Sea. Not too big, not too small, full of culture and history. Ever since I live year around in Valencia and work as an Oficial tourist guide, in English, German, French and Spanish.
I also wrote a guide book about Valencia which was first published in 2018 (available only in German, 4th edition May 2024). I am very proud of my Valenciana 'baby'. You can purchase the book in bookstores in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and of course online. In April 2025 my second guide book will be on the market, about Costa Blanca and Valencia.

I have been living in Valencia for more than 17 years - a city I had never been to before, but I am not planning to leave for the next couple of years!
If you had told me in the '90s, when I was studying International Business & Communications in The Hague, that one day I would be a qualified city guide in Valencia, I would have told you that´s crazy.
My great passion has always been travelling - I am a real ‘globetrotter’, both professionally and privately. I started my first job in the south of the Netherlands at a great advertising agency. Then I moved to Göttingen, Germany, and later worked for eight years as a business developer at TUI in Frankfurt am Main. I also lived in England and France for some time.
In 2007, my partner and I decided to make a fresh start in Spain. We liked Valencia immediately - the surroundings are beautiful, and the city is fascinating. Working as a city guide for over 12 years, I have been sharing my enthusiasm and experiences with guests of many nationalities. You experience Valencia with all your senses: you hear life, see happiness and you taste the Mediterranean. You can join my tours in Dutch, English, German or Spanish.
In 2021, I developed an Escape room Valencia Game for an online provider. Participants can use the app on their own mobile phones to learn about the city and help the famous painter Sorolla to escape town. A great activity to discover Valencia's old town on your own.
