Description
Charleston History. Jewish Soul. Charleston abrita la plus grande communauté juive des États-Unis jusque dans les années 1820 — dépassant même New York. Découvrez des monuments emblématiques et des joyaux cachés lors d'une visite privée qui tisse l'héritage juif dans l'histoire plus large de Charleston. Nous explorerons une portion fascinante du cœur historique de Charleston, visitant des maisons qui appartenaient autrefois à des marchands juifs, dont un magnat du bateau à vapeur et un vêtement prospère, ainsi que le site de la première pharmacie appartenant à des Juifs en Amérique. Vous verrez également le bâtiment de la Société Hébraïque des Orphelins et vous promènerez devant les façades colorées de Rainbow Row. En marchant, nous réfléchirons au rôle vital des Afro-Américains dans l’histoire juive de Charleston et à l’héritage complexe de l’implication juive dans l’économie esclavagiste de la ville et dans la guerre de Sécession. C’est plus qu’une visite historique, c’est une exploration significative de l’identité juive, de la communauté et de la continuité à Charleston, menée avec perspicacité, soin et cœur de conteur.

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.
