Description

Colonial Experience Historic Adventure Tour at Colonial Quarter
Journey back in time through centuries of St. Augustine history, from the distinctive 35-foot watchtower and colonial buildings to shops and dining.
Take an immersive, captivating journey through centuries of St. Augustine's rich history, brought to breathtaking life at the Colonial Quarter—the revitalized two-acre signature attraction in the heart of the downtown historic district.

Experience the Nation's Oldest City like never before with a Historical Adventure Tour that immerses you in the sights, sounds and smells of three centuries. You can also climb to the top of a 17th century watchtower replica, dine on classic Pub fare and Spanish Tapas and more!

Stroll the Flags Over St. Augustine boardwalk, each step a passage through the centuries beneath the very flags that have flown over this Ancient City for over 450 years—from the flag that likely flew on the mast of Juan Ponce de Leon's ship as he explored Florida's northeast coast to today's 50-star Stars & Stripes.

Visit the 16th Century Ship building project to see a handcrafted 50-foot caravel rising one story into the sky! A caravel was used by the Spanish in the 16th century, including by Don Juan Ponce de Leon, who claimed Florida for Spain in 1513, and Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles, who founded St. Augustine in 1565.

Get hands-on with buried artifacts in the dig boxes. Get an intriguing glimpse into archaeological investigations that took place on the very ground you'll walk upon at the Colonial Quarter, real evidence that suggests it might have been the site of an early wooden fort burned in the late 1600s.

"Emmie is the best tour guide!"

We decided to visit Colonial Quarters, even though we do not have small children. We are so glad that we did because we had a total blast. Emmie, our tour guide, was cracking us up from the moment she introduced herself. We loved her blacksmithing demonstration and cannon firing. We will definitely recommend this attraction to all, not just people with kids. Very historic, educational and enjoyable.

This was a fun stop in Historic St. Augustine. Our tour guide, Bert, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a great deal about blacksmithing, as well as the Spanish and English history and influence on architecture there. It was interesting to learn about the early settlers' voyages from Europe. The cannon firing was a fun addition to the tour. You can climb the tower to get a nice view of the river and the fort across the street. The ticket sales lady was very friendly and we enjoyed talking with her, as well. The price was reasonable for an hour-long tour, especially with the military discount offered. We highly recommend stopping here when in the Colonial Quarter in St. Augustine.

"A Gem to entertain and Inform hidden in plain sight."

This was a great experience. We bought tickets along with our Pirate Museum tickets. Ellie, our interpreter and guide, was personable and had a wealth of knowledge. She took great care in bringing the colony to life to the youngest visitors in the group. Ellie had a flare to impart the reality of the hardship of daily colonial life in memorable and real ways. I would recommend this experience to any visitor to St Augustine to gain perspective on the town and on Florida History.

"Smaller than expected"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed May 22, 2025
I had high hopes for this experience, but found it to be somewhat underwhelming. The area is much smaller than I had anticipated. It was extremely slow when I visited, and I ended up getting a private tour. My guide was knowledgeable and fun, and made the visit much better than it would have otherwise been, so kudos to him. The blacksmith demonstration was by far the best part of the experience. Outside of the tour (which for me lasted just under 30 minutes - I was there for 45 minutes total), there is a watchtower to climb for views over the inlet and Castillo de San Marcos, a replica printing shop, and a walkway tracking the various flags that have flown over St. Augustine. With more people inside the attraction, and on the tour, I imagine it would be a lot more fun, and take a little more time, but as it was for me, it was just okay. You can get a lot of the same information and experiences elsewhere in St. Augustine.
