Rare Caroldoll Posted February 14, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted February 14, 2013 my email is ciraulo1@earthlink.net. I will be so appreciative since a lot of the comments on this board are NOT favorable to this port. Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be so appreciative since a lot of the comments on this board are NOT favorable to this port. Thank you so much. Marseilles is not a bad port...used to be,but they are really trying to make it better.It can be a gateway into Provence.There are some recent posts on going to Les Baux,Cassis,and Avignon as well...lots of history in the old walled city.

Rare Caroldoll Posted February 14, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted February 14, 2013 We are on Oceania, and I will check the Concierge when we are on another cruise next week, but I would appreciate any referrals on a private tour. I must say I was put off by a lot of the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseyjill Posted February 18, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 18, 2013 :)Hi, I was checking out the port of Toulon/Provence because we are sailing on NCL's Spirit in August of 2014 (yes it's early but we booked anyway) and I happened to see that you are from Jackson too. We just moved here this summer and are planning our 5th cruise for summer of 2014. Our cruise offers a nice looking tour for Marseilles and Aix de Provence but as usual, I like to see what other people have planned, even if it's on a different sailing date. Have you made any plans for tour at this port? The city of Aix looks fabulous! Sometimes the private tours are better because you don't have to wait for 50 other passengers to get on and off the huge busses. We booked 90 % of private tours last time we did a Med. cruise with Carnival. We got to know 2 other couples very well online in the 9 months before we sailed from our roll call and we lucked out with fabulous tour guides in each city. So I am always interested in what shore excursions others are planning. I'd love to hear back from you! Thanks! JerseyJill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would like a reliable tour company and the price isn't a problem. We will be using Transfert Services on out trip in October. Delphine has been very easy to work with to set up a tour from Marseille to Aix en Provence and Avignon, They have gotten good reviews on Trip Advisor. Her Email is www.transfert-services.com.
