Toulon is the capital of Var. Its importance as a central port city for the Mediterranean coast was known back in the Roman Empire. Toulon is a permanent base for the French Navy.
Toulon also served Napoleon as the port from which he embarked on his journey to Egypt. Josephine climbed the Royal Tower and waved goodbye to her husband to make sure he did indeed leave.
We will walk along the port dock, discuss the history of the city, look at the famous statues in front of the town hall. We will then cut into the old city and famous Provencal market and explore some of the local specialties. We will continue into the heart of the old city, looking at houses, fountains, telling stories, and presenting the previously vibrant figures of Toulon.
Cruise ship passenger? My pleasure to meet you at the terminal or as you get off your tender boat. Small groups with no audio guiding system. I speak to you :-) You walk with me, not behind me ;-)

Lovely small group tour that was perfect for my one day cruise ship port. Sarit was personable, informative and passionate about her delivery.

Our tour guide was great and very animated. She portrayed history of the city in perfect form. We enjoyed stopping and understanding what made Toulon what it is today. We had plenty of time after to walk and shop and get a pastry.

“Toulon” was a stop for our cruise ship, although we actually docked at the port of La Seyne-sur-Mer. Thanks to Sarit, we knew which questions to ask in advance and were able to arrange for transportation from our port to Toulon proper when our ship docked.
Sarit met us at the dock in Toulon & provided us with a wonderful walking tour of Toulon, full of fun facts and an excellent history of the area.
She helped our party purchase pastries from her recommended boulangerie, took us to a favorite shop, & through the outdoor market in the heart of Old Town. We were a party of 6 & she was very patient with our questions & occasional detours.
I would not hesitate to recommend Sarit to anyone interested in learning more about Toulon & the surrounding areas. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour!
