Talking To The Dead On Tour
Spirits meet you at night. The Talking To The Dead On Tour in New Orleans mixes a live audience viewing with spiritual readings delivered in a dramatic style, the talking-from-the-mouth-of-the-Living-Dead format, customized by the buyer. I like the private group feel and the way the experience can be tailored to your questions, and I also like the practical extras like photos emailed after and optional audio and video recordings. One possible drawback: this is a spiritual medium experience, so if you want strict proof and no emotional takeaways, you may leave frustrated.
This one runs from about 2 to 4 hours, starting at 8:00 pm, with the meeting point at 908 Bourbon St. The provider can also offer pickup based on where you are, and the tour is set up so only your group participates, which helps keep the vibe focused instead of chaotic.
Price is $1,095 per person, so it’s not a casual add-on. Still, the package points to real value if you want a dedicated reading plus travel and comfort covered, because travel expenses and accommodations are listed as included when the medium travels.
Key things to know before you book

- Private group seance options: only your group participates, with group seance pricing noted for up to 5 people
- Photos emailed to you: photos are included after the session
- Optional recordings: audio and video recordings are available if you want to capture the night
- Pickup available: you can pick your location for pickup in the New Orleans area
- Medium travels to you: you can choose your city, and travel plus accommodations are included
- Audience viewing format: an optional attending viewer setup up to 500 is offered if you want a larger setting
What You’re Really Signing Up For in New Orleans
This is not a history tour or a museum stop. It is a live spiritual reading experience that centers on an audience viewing format, with Psychic Medium Marie delivering messages through a staged reading style. The core hook is that talking-from-the-mouth-of-the-Living-Dead concept, where the medium’s delivery is the show, and your questions and energy are part of the performance.
You are also told the event is customized by the buyer. That matters, because it nudges this away from a one-size-fits-all show and closer to an interactive session where you can expect to shape what happens. The included options suggest flexibility too, including different reading styles (some bookings reference short readings and past-life themed readings).
The balanced take: if you treat it like entertainment plus reflection, you’ll likely have a better time. If you treat it like a courtroom and demand verification, you might end up annoyed. The people who come back to book more readings tend to be the ones who want meaning, not just a spectacle.
Keep the day moving with these tours around New Orleans.
Getting Started at 908 Bourbon St, Why 8:00 pm Helps

The New Orleans version starts at 8:00 pm at 908 Bourbon St, New Orleans, LA 70116. That late start is a big deal for two reasons.
First, Bourbon Street at night sets the right mood for a live, performative seance style experience. It also gives you time earlier in the evening to eat, walk, and get your bearings without rushing.
Second, the session is designed for a focused block of time, listed at roughly 2 to 4 hours. If your evening is already packed, plan for a proper wind-down before and after, because a reading session can be mentally and emotionally intense even when it’s delivered with humor and kindness.
Pickup is also an option, and you can pick your location. That helps if you don’t want to deal with parking or if you prefer to use public transport. The meeting point is near public transportation, which makes it easier to stitch into a normal New Orleans night out.
Psychic Medium Marie and the Reading Style You Should Expect

The experience is led by Psychic Medium Marie. Across the strongest feedback themes, people describe her as personable, welcoming, and down to earth. They also highlight that she takes her time, gives clear answers, and makes sure she finishes the reading before wrapping up.
A few specific qualities show up again and again in what’s shared:
- A kind tone with candor and a sense of humor
- A willingness to connect dots with you rather than just drop random statements
- Time for questions, when the format allows it
- A focus on emotional resonance, including experiences described as bringing people to tears in a meaningful way
One more helpful detail: the setup includes options for recording and photos. That suggests the experience is meant to be remembered and re-visited later, not just forgotten after you get back to your hotel.
And if you are curious but skeptical, you might still find the process worth it. One account describes choosing a short reading option, treating it like a sample, and leaving with accuracy that felt personal even if the person did not fully understand or believe in the category beforehand. That’s a good model for you if you want to test the waters.
The Private Group Setup, Up to 5 People at the Same Price Point

This is listed as a private tour/activity, meaning only your group participates. That changes how the night feels compared with anything with strangers mixed in.
You can also pick your group, and there is a noted option for a group seance listed as the same price up to 5 people. If you’re traveling with friends or your partner, that’s the practical way to reduce the per-person sting and still keep the attention on your group.
There is also an optional viewer component, described as attending viewers up to 500. That reads like an option for a larger event-style setting, while the private setup keeps it intimate for your own group. If you want a quiet, question-forward session, the private angle matters most.
Important practical note from what’s listed: you do not get a default “set everything up for you” bundle for furniture and tools. The not-included list says no seating, no venue, and no equipment are included, and the client provides a round table. That means you should plan on having a clear venue or space lined up for your specific booking arrangement, and you should confirm what the provider expects you to supply versus what they bring.
Stop 1 in New Orleans: The Living-Dead Spiritual Readings

The itinerary is simple: Stop 1 in New Orleans is the main event, built around a viewing audience and the spiritual readings delivered in the talking-from-the-mouth-of-the-Living-Dead style. It’s scheduled for about 2 hours as the key session block.
Here’s what this typically means for your evening flow. You meet at the start point on Bourbon Street at 8:00 pm, then your group moves into the reading space. During the session, you and the viewing audience observe the spiritual readings, with the medium speaking and delivering messages meant to connect with what you brought into the experience.
Because the event is customized by the buyer, the exact tone and emphasis can shift depending on what you ask for and how your booking is configured. Some people also reference past-life readings, which suggests that at least some sessions allow you to explore themes beyond a single question like career or relationships. If you have a specific focus, such as a career change or reconnecting with someone from your past, this customization angle is where you get to steer.
The biggest “value” part of this stop is not the venue or street location. It’s the way the night is structured to feel interactive and personalized, with the medium taking time and being careful about completing answers before moving on.
Photos, Optional Audio and Video, and Getting Your Memory Back

You’re not just asked to “go with it” and forget it. The package lists photos included, and they are sent to your email. It also includes optional audio and video recordings, which is a big plus if you want to review what you heard later, especially if the reading covers multiple topics.
Two practical suggestions if you care about capturing the moment:
- Decide ahead of time whether you want to record. Optional means you can choose, but clarity helps avoid last-minute scrambling.
- If you’re sensitive to distraction, balance the desire to record with your attention during the reading. A recording can be useful later, but it can also pull you out of the moment.
What I like here is that the photos are handled for you. You do not have to ask, chase, or coordinate. You simply get them sent after, which is the kind of “small admin” help that makes a weird experience feel organized.
Travel, Accommodations, and the Real Value of the Package

On paper, the price is high: $1,095 per person. But this is one of those cases where you should look at what the package covers rather than just the sticker.
The included items list travel expenses and all accommodations included, and it also says the psychic medium travels to you and you can pick your own city. That suggests you are buying more than a local reading. You’re likely buying a dedicated service where you are not expected to figure out the logistics.
If you are staying in New Orleans and only thinking about local costs, that value can feel harder to measure. But if you are comparing it to other personalized experiences that require separate travel planning, the “package” angle can make the price feel more grounded.
Best value strategy: book with friends using the group seance option mentioned for up to 5 people at the same price point. That keeps the session private while spreading the cost across a group.
The Most Praised Parts, and Why They Matter

When you look at what consistently lands well, it’s less about spectacle and more about delivery and care.
People highlight three big strengths:
- Accuracy that feels personal: multiple accounts talk about details that were hard to guess and felt emotionally connected.
- A gentle, non-pushy vibe: one account describes no pressure tactics, which matters because psychic experiences can sometimes feel sales-y elsewhere.
- Being treated thoughtfully: accounts say the medium makes sure she gets every answer, takes her time, and offers a welcoming environment.
There is also a “changed heart” theme. Some readings are described as emotionally moving, including tearful moments, and others as inspiring people to take action in their lives.
Even if you’re not sure you believe in this, the strongest practical takeaway is that you can still walk away with useful clarity and perspective, particularly if you approach it with openness and with questions you truly want answered.
Who This Fits Best (and Who Should Skip It)
This tour fits best if you:
- Are curious about psychic medium readings and want a live, interactive experience
- Like New Orleans at night and don’t mind a theatrical spiritual setting
- Want personal messages about real life topics like purpose, relationships, or career direction
- Enjoy the idea of exploring past-life themes if that option is available for your booking
It might not be your best fit if you:
- Need a strictly scientific experience and want hard verification
- Get annoyed by anything that feels subjective, symbolic, or emotionally resonant
- Do not want to manage venue-related basics, since seating, venue, and equipment are not listed as included
Practical Tips for Your Night on Bourbon Street
You can make the most of the experience with a few simple moves.
First, plan a buffer before you go. The start is 8:00 pm, and the session runs 2 to 4 hours. Give yourself time to eat, hydrate, and arrive with a calm head.
Second, decide what you want. Because the event is customized and you can ask questions, go in with a short list. Career questions, grief questions, and relationship clarity questions tend to be the easiest to frame.
Third, think about recording and photos as optional tools. If you want recordings, choose that ahead of time so it does not become a distraction.
Fourth, remember what is not included. If your booking needs a space setup, seating, or equipment, you should confirm what you provide. The list says you provide a round table, and it also says no venue, no seating, and no equipment are included.
Should You Book Talking To The Dead On Tour?
Here’s my balanced take. If you want an organized evening in New Orleans that combines a live reading format with the chance to ask real questions, this is a strong candidate. The private group setup, the careful delivery style attributed to Psychic Medium Marie, and the included photos make it feel like more than a casual show.
The big deciding factors are cost and expectations. At $1,095 per person, you should book only if you are genuinely interested in the spiritual medium format and you want a personalized experience. If you are only passing through and want light entertainment, it may be too pricey. If you are celebrating something, seeking clarity, or traveling with a small group, the group option could make this feel more reasonable.
If you’re willing to treat it as a night of meaningful storytelling, not a lab experiment, you’ll likely get the most out of it.
