BucketRace: London Tours Compared

Is BucketRace worth it? Our verdict

BucketRace is worth booking for a team-building experience that gets everyone working together: activities include photo and video challenges as well as trivia and location-based tasks.

London's varied architecture, from Westminster's historic buildings to Shoreditch's modern designs, shapes the settings you and your team will explore on a BucketRace scavenger hunt. Teams receive a personalised list of tasks and challenges, then set off to complete them before returning for trophies, medals or prizes depending on the chosen option.

On Booking Wolf it costs £27 per person against Viator's £30, a saving of £3 (10%). For two people, Qula's E-Scavenger Hunt London: Explore the City at Your Own Pace works out £15.29 a head cheaper (£11.71 each against £27), so the extra pays for alcoholic beverages, a photo and video presentation, and bespoke tasks and challenges.

For something different, there is Liquid History Tours' London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs (£31.50 per person, 10/10 on our own popularity score), a guided walk rather than a self-guided tour, about the same length, a similar price per person.

Its tours pick up about one new review every 6 months on the sites we track (fewer than 5 bookers a month, our own estimate) - 1/10 on the Booking Wolf popularity scale.
