Colonial Experience Historic Adventure Tour at Colonial Quarter

Journey back in time through centuries of St. Augustine history, from our 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 our 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.

As Europe entered the Age of Exploration and began exploring new worlds, caravels were able to traverse unknown coastlines closer to shore than larger ships and travel deeper into bays and rivers.

Boatwrights like ours played an important role in exploration by designing and building new ships, and repairing those damaged by storms, reefs, sand bars, and attack by other ships.

Get hands-on with buried artifacts in our 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.

"Seriously Fantastic Experience"

We had a super fun time at Colonial Quarter! This was honestly my favorite experience that we did all day. My wife and I were here with a few college friends and we all had a blast. You’ll definitely want to take guided tour so make sure to plan your visit around tour times (about every 1.5 hours). Bert was a fantastic guide and really made the experience fun and unique. You learn a lot of fun and interesting history and I came out of there wanting to learn a lot more. The highlight of our trip was the canon firing. Seriously so fun. Plus, the view of the harbor and the fort from the watch tower is pretty cool. I would highly recommend this experience.

"Interesting area"

This is an interesting area to walk around although at times it is difficult to understand if the properties are authentic historic buildings or reproductions. We parked near the Lightner museum and then walked around this area which was very pleasant although may get busy in high season.

"Cooper is amazing!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed January 11, 2024
My 12-year-old son, who loves history, wanted to do this activity on our recent trip to St. Augustine. We were "lucky" enough to be the only ones on our tour, and we enjoyed every moment. Our tour guide, Cooper, was amazing! My son isn't very sociable but he was quite comfortable with Cooper, which says a lot about the guide. He was both knowledgeable and entertaining. We were hurrying to meet up with someone, but I wish we had more time for that activity. It was perhaps the best one of our trip.
