“It’s fantastic to see the Roman Baths – one of Bath’s iconic sights – holding its own alongside some of the UK’s world-renowned sights, like Big Ben and the Tower of London.
“As demand for these winning landmarks soar during peak seasons, travellers planning a visit should book their tours ahead on TripAdvisor to avoid disappointment,” commented TripAdvisor spokesperson, Hayley Coleman.
