Do you have a Boston travel question?
Perhaps you want to know:
- What parts of the Freedom Trail are interesting to 12-year-olds?
- Where are the best options if I want to stay in a historic hotel?
- How long should I plan to spend in the New England Aquarium?
- Which restaurants have gluten-free menus?
- When does the weather get warm enough for swimming at nearby beaches?
I'm happy to answer questions about Boston travel, local attractions, restaurants, what to do in Boston, where to stay, and so forth. Although I won't always know the answer to some of the questions right away, I'll do my best to find out. Please remember - I'm not connected in any way to the travel or tourism business, so although I do my best to give accurate information, I don't guarantee it!
You can use the form below to send your Boston travel question. When I answer your question, I'll provide a link to it on this page because other visitors will also be interested, and thank you for asking it.
First, you may want to use this search box (it's the same as the one at the top right corner) to see if your question is already covered somewhere on the Boston Discovery Guide, as you'll get your answer faster that way:
I try to answer questions within a couple of days after receiving them - usually sooner - but if I need to research or get information from someone else, it could take longer - so thanks in advance for your patience!
Also, please note that I don't answer homework questions about the Puritans, Stamp Acts, Boston's role in the Revolutionary War, etc. As I tell my own kids, "Look it up yourself - you'll learn more that way!" I include lots of Boston history on the site, so use the search box above to see if you can find what you need.
