Descripción
Historia de Charleston. Alma judía. Charleston fue el hogar de la comunidad judía más grande de los EE. UU. hasta la década de 1820, superando incluso a Nueva York. Experimente lugares emblemáticos y joyas ocultas en un recorrido privado que entrelaza la herencia judía con la historia más amplia de Charleston. Exploraremos un tramo fascinante del centro histórico de Charleston, visitando casas que alguna vez fueron propiedad de comerciantes judíos, incluido un magnate de barcos de vapor y un exitoso comerciante de telas, así como el sitio de la primera farmacia de propiedad judía de Estados Unidos. También verá el edificio de la Sociedad Hebrea de Huérfanos y paseará por las coloridas fachadas de Rainbow Row. Mientras caminamos, reflexionaremos sobre el papel vital de los afroamericanos en la historia judía de Charleston y el complejo legado de la participación judía tanto en la economía esclavista de la ciudad como en la Guerra Civil. Este es más que un recorrido histórico: es una exploración significativa de la identidad judía, la comunidad y la continuidad en Charleston, realizada con perspicacia, cuidado y el corazón de un narrador.

Don't miss this Fantastic tour! Gary was so personable and easily understood in his presentation!
We did the 2 hour Footsteps Tour and it was fantastic. Gary was insanely knowledgeable, fun, and an engaging guide. The history is remarkable and Gary nailed it. Ronnie was very responsive and accomodating in making sure we could get on the schedule. They were both professional and all around great guys! Thank you so much CJT I will be back!

Terrific Tour of Jewish Charleston
Ronnie Ludwin did a magnificent job touring my wife and I around Charleston. The tour included both driving and walking around. I had no idea of the rich Jewish history of Charleston - which continues to this day! If I could give this review six stars I would.

Do not miss this gem of a tour!
I took Ronnie’s Jewish walking tour in Charleston and it was truly exceptional. I learned more than I ever imagined — layers of history I didn’t even know I didn’t know. His knowledge, detail, and storytelling are on another level. I could’ve spent hours more listening to him. This was one of the most unexpectedly moving and fascinating experiences I’ve had in Charleston. Do not miss this tour.

A Much Worthwhile Experience
I visited Charleston recently after not having visited there since 1989 and was very glad I connected with Ronnie of Charleston Jewish Tours for a walking tour of the city. I already knew a bit about Charleston’s synagogues and Civil War history, but had no idea of the extent of Jewish history, heritage and culture - not to mention American history - existing there. Ronnie greatly impressed me with his knowledge, speaking skills and presentation and how well he fielded any and all questions. His clearly has done much research on the city’s American and Jewish history which was evident throughout the tour. He had no need for notes or prepared scripts as I have experienced with other tour guides. He covered lots of bases including local history, recent history, the synagogues, the churches, the cemeteries, architecture, local eateries, etc. You name it! I now have family and friends living in the Charleston area, and when I next visit them I will definitely plan another tour with Ronnie, perhaps one of his driving tours. I highly recommend Charleston Jewish Tours.

Great tour of Jewish Charleston
Right from the beginning Ronnie delivered a very well organized, informative, tour of Jewish Charleston. He started on time which I appreciated and we learned a great deal about the city and its history. Along the way, Ronnie pointed out architecture, restaurants and so much more. I highly recommend his tours.

Charlestons Jewish History
Ronnie was very engaging and so knowledgeable for such a new guide and new tour company. I’m a docent at KKBE and still learned things I didn’t know. He covered a lot of Charleston’s history, answered everyone’s questions, and was concerned with everyone’s well being due to the heat. I highly recommend taking this tour.
