Toulon Shore Excursions & Provence Tours - Cassis, Aix en Provence & St. Tropez Cruise Excursions
Toulon is a historic Provence naval port on the French Riviera, founded by the Romans as Telo Martius in the 1st century BC and known in antiquity for producing Tyrian purple dye. Larger cruise ships dock at the La Seyne-sur-Mer cruise terminal across the bay, about 10 kilometers from central Toulon, while smaller vessels can dock closer to the city center at the Quai Fournel pier. Your private driver-guide meets you directly at the terminal. The city itself rewards a short visit before or after your excursion, including the Vieille Ville old town, the Cours Lafayette market, and Mont Faron, the 584 meter peak above the harbor reached on our
Toulon and Cassis private shore excursion by the only cable car on the Mediterranean coast, with a memorial to the 1944 Allied landings in Provence at its summit.
Our most popular Toulon private shore excursion is the
Aix en Provence and Cassis private shore excursion - a full 8-hour day that pairs the elegant Provencal capital with the coastal town of Cassis and its Calanques, about 45 kilometers and 45 minutes from Toulon. Aix en Provence on its own is about 83 kilometers and roughly 1 hour 10 minutes inland, with its tree lined boulevards, fountains, and Cezanne connections. For guests who prefer the Riviera to Provence, the St. Tropez and Bormes les Mimosas private shore excursion reaches Saint-Tropez about 70 kilometers and roughly 1 hour 15 minutes away, paired with the medieval hilltop village of Bormes les Mimosas. All Toulon shore excursions from Private Shore Trips include an English-speaking driver-guide, a private vehicle for your group only, and our back-to-ship guarantee. Reserve with a $50 deposit.
