sallybrown2012 Posted December 31, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Our cruise on the Royal Princess next August stops in Toulon, but there are not any shore excursions showing yet for that port. Has anyone done a cruise shore excursion from Toulon? Where did it go - did you like it? We'd like to see Aix en Provence. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted January 1, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 1, 2013 We did the half day tour to Aix. We thought it was a worthwhile trip. The architecture and the town squares were very photogenic. Here is a link to the pictures from the excursion. http://markandkareneurope2012.shutterfly.com/pictures/497 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallybrown2012 Posted January 1, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Thanks - I think that would be perfect for us. Guess I just have to be patient and wait for the cruise line to post information about the tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted January 2, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 2, 2013 If I remember, it was just over $50 pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopat Posted January 15, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2013 We're on the Royal in September and have arranged for Catherine of provence tours to take us to Aix en Provence and Cassis. She gets great review both on trip advisor and Rick Steves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted January 16, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2013 You will love Catherine - we used her in October. The itinerary you are doing is the one I would recommend, walking tour of Aix, followed by a stop in Cassis and the boat ride out to the inlets...

mopat Posted January 16, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Loonbeam, thank you. Good to hear from someone who has used Catherine. Can't wait for this trip. A little anxious because I've been reading on some of the posts that Princess may cancel the port of Toulon. Sure hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you point me to where you read that Princess might cancel the Toulon Port. If that becomes the case, I won't waste my time searching for a tour.

sunsetbeachgal Posted August 14, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 14, 2013 We we on the Royal and decided to do Toulon as a relaxing DIY day since we had three big touring days in a row (Livorno, Civitavecchia and Naples) following it...we took the Princess shuttle boat into town (we do not dock in town) and there is a WONDERFUL outdoor market in the morning until 1 PM. DH and I then did the maritime museum and DD and family took the public bus to the beach and said the beach was absolutely lovely and a very short distance by bus.
