For anyone interested in the American Jewish experience, this tour explores the origin story of a community that has been contributing to the American story since the earliest days of colonization. Later American Jewish history is much more heavily explored, but seldom do we explore the stories of the first Jews to the continent, the first synagogue, and the Jews of the Revolution. We will go back to the first permanent Jewish residents of North America, explore how they survived, thrived, and played an integral part in both American and Jewish history.

Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for this walking tour?

A: There's no specific age limit for the tour, but I’d say it’s best suited for teens and adults. The content is pretty in-depth, so younger kids might not find it as engaging. It’s a good idea to check with the tour guide if you're bringing younger kids to see if they think it’ll be suitable!

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?

A: If the weather doesn't cooperate, you can usually reschedule for another date with the tour company. Just make sure to check their cancellation policy when you book. They’re pretty flexible, especially if it’s severe weather!

Q: What should I wear for this walking tour?

A: Comfort is key! Wear comfortable walking shoes since you’ll be on your feet for a bit. Also, dress in layers depending on the weather. NYC can be unpredictable, especially in spring and fall.

Looking for gift ideas for my history-loving dad!

Hey everyone! I just found this private walking tour about Jewish colonial history in NYC, and it sounds amazing! It dives into the stories of the first Jews in America and covers some really interesting historical points. It’s with Cicerone Travel and I’m thinking about it as a gift for my dad who’s super into history. Has anyone done this? What did you think?

Just did the Jewish Colonial History Tour - wow!

I went on the Private Walking Tour about Jewish colonial history in NYC last weekend, and it was absolutely fantastic! It lasts about 2 hours and covers so much ground, literally and figuratively. The guide shared so many captivating stories! I really didn’t know much about this part of history, and now I feel like I learned a ton. Anyone else been on this? What were your highlights?
