There are good English travel guides to the Rhein-Main-area, but none of those exclusively deals with the subject of travelling with children. There are special guides for travelling with children, but they are in German. This guide is especially made for English-speaking Expat families and tourists. It is the result of extensive research and many insider tips from families with children.
