Have come to / have been to

Hello everyone. I have a question.

Regarding to the following two sentences:

(A) How many times have you come to this town?

(B) How many times have you been to this town?

Can we say (B) instead of (A) when we want to ask someone how many times s/he has come to the town where they are at the moment?

seagull Can we say (B) instead of (A) when we want to ask someone how many times s/he has come to the town where they are at the moment? You have it reversed: B is the native choice while A sounds non-native.
