Hi there! Nice to meet you

María Clara

Hello! My name is Maria Clara. I was born in Medellin, Colombia and grew up in Spain. I'm currently based in London, a city I love and which I now call home after some years back and forth between here and Madrid.

I have guided in Madrid for Withlocals, and I am pleased to do it in London. I am ready to show you around and tell you hints about my favourite places, including museums, art galleries and venues to see the best live music.

Ok so maybe the day did start a little dreary, but that was quickly replaced by our time with Maria. From a delicious start at a local tea vendor, through fresh oysters and scallops to a decadent mushroom risotto Maria kept us well fed and informed about local history and historic places. She is super friendly and we felt like we were exploring London through food with a friend - which we feel she became by the end. Over a pint to finish off the tour of course. And by then the sun was, of course, shining! We highly recommend a day with her!A Not So Foggy Day in London-Town

We ask to go to 4 places on a 3 hour tour with Maria & it was perfect. She guided us through a very busy borough market where we got a lunch and some sweets. She knew exactly where to take us! The history was fascinating. Then took a ride on the tube like we were locals. Westminster Abby then Buckingham Palace. Ended in a local pub where for a farewell drink. Maria was so informative and we never felt rushed in a super busy town. We would highly recommend her and will have her take us around to different places next time in town. 1st time in London tour

I completed the Highlights & Hidden Gems of London tour with María Clara and had an amazing time! I was only in London for about 36 hours and really wanted to maximize my time in the city, and this tour couldn't have been a better choice. María Clara is extremely knowledgable about the culture of London—including food, music, art, etc.—in terms of both the tourist attractions as well as lesser known aspects of the city. She also has deep historical knowledge and provided context for every place we visited. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested!Fantastic tour and company!

We had a group of 7 and our guide Maria Clara was a delight. Very communicative and knowledgeable. My problem with the tour was the expense. Basically we paid approximately $100 per person for 10 tastes. I didn’t realize we were going to Borough Market where, as tourists, we visited a few days prior. Had I known, we would have skipped our earlier stop. However she did introduce us to some new spots. But what we tasted was not worth the $700 we paid. I know there are other expenses but just not worth that kind of money. Skip this, do a little research, and go on your own. Great guide but…

Maria Clara was an excellent guide through the market and sharing local London history. Her knowledge of the market vendors introduced us to many new foods to try that we wouldn’t have found on our own. She was a delight to spend time with!Excellent Market Tour

Maria was fabulous! We loved this food tour! We learned a lot of history as well as about many different dishes and got to eat them all. You get a good amount of food, we did not need to each lunch after this, and we loved every minute of it. Highly recommend this food tour & Maria :)Highly Recommend

My wife and I got some great insight (and tastes) into a quaint Madrid neighborhood through the eyes (and taste buds) of our guide Maria. She was knowledgeable and attentive, making great tasting selections and ensuring that all we would sample was well matched to our preferences wherever we stopped. We visited a variety of shops/bars and thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.Great Madrid experience

Maria was an excellent tour guide and I would highly recommend doing a tour 'with locals'. The group is small (just your group) and can be catered to your likes/dislikes. Maria provided us with great information on the area and the food we tried. Excellent value!Friendly & Knowledgable

I learned a lot from my tour with Maria. We went to spots I wouldn't be able to find on my own, especially since this was my first day in Madrid. I really enjoyed my tour with Maria and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other people. Excellent experience
