Talking To The Dead On Tour
A séance with a New Orleans twist. This experience centers on Psychic Medium Marie leading a spiritual reading where the messages are framed as coming through the mouth of the Living Dead, shaped around what you want to ask and how your group wants it delivered. It’s scheduled for an evening start in New Orleans, with pickup available if you want to make arrival easier, and it’s built to feel like an event, not a quick stop.
Two things I especially like: you get photos included (sent by email), and the session can be set up for your group size, with options that range from a tight group vibe to larger audience viewing if you choose. One drawback to plan for: some key basics are listed as not included, including no seating and no venue, so you should confirm what you’ll need to provide for the space you’re using.

New Orleans at 8:00 pm: The Meeting Point and Arrival Game Plan

This is not a daytime stroll tour. The whole thing kicks off at 8:00 pm, starting at 908 Bourbon St, New Orleans, LA 70116. It ends back at the same meeting point, so you’re not solving a multi-stop route problem.
If you’d rather not navigate Bourbon Street after dark, pickup is offered and you can pick your own location. That matters because the experience is time-based: you want to show up ready for the session, not late while your group is still herding phones and keys.
The experience is set up for English, and it’s described as something most people can participate in. You’re also close to public transportation, which is useful if your plan is to avoid parking stress in the French Quarter area.
The Core Experience: Spiritual Readings Framed Through the Living Dead Mouth

The heart of the event is a spiritual reading you view as an audience. The wording used to describe it is specific: the messages are delivered in a way that frames the communication as coming from the mouth of the Living Dead. In plain terms, expect a structured, guided séance-style reading where the medium acts as the conduit.
What makes this interesting is that it’s not presented as a general “psychic show.” It’s built around your questions and your group’s focus. The experience is also described as taking time with each reading, which is a big deal if you don’t want rushed, one-question-and-done answers.
You should also know what the setting does for the mood. The experience is described as down-to-earth and inviting, with a peaceful vibe. That’s helpful if you’re curious but cautious. You won’t be pushed into anything you don’t want, and you can choose how long you stay within what’s offered.
Stop One in New Orleans: How the Event Plays Out
There’s one main location stop: New Orleans. Rather than moving around town, your time goes into the reading itself. That means the “itinerary” is more like a scheduled event block than a sightseeing route.
Plan on a session length of roughly 2 to 4 hours. The variation isn’t random; it fits with how the event is customized and how your group wants the reading delivered. If you’re booking with friends, you’ll usually want everyone aligned ahead of time on what you want most—clarity, direction, or simply an experience that feels meaningful.
Also, this is set as a private tour/activity. Only your group participates, even though there’s an option to add attending viewers (more on that next).
Private Group vs Optional Audience Viewing (Up to 500)

Here’s where it gets interesting. Your event is private, meaning your group is the only one participating directly. But there’s an option for optional attending viewers up to 500.
So you can choose your vibe:
- If you want intimacy, you keep the audience option smaller or skip it.
- If you want more event energy—like a staged séance atmosphere—you can add attending viewers.
This also means you should think about comfort. Some people love the energy of a bigger room. Others prefer quieter and more personal. Because the experience can be customized, it’s worth deciding which direction you want before you book.
Customization Is the Point: Picking What Your Group Needs

The experience is described as customized by the buyer. That’s a practical detail with real impact: you can come in with a theme, a concern, or specific life questions, and shape the reading around that.
The event also allows you to pick your own city. Since you’re looking at New Orleans, you’d still book in this location, but the flexibility suggests the experience can travel if you ever want to bring the same format elsewhere.
You can also pick your group and arrange a group séance with the same pricing up to 5 people. If you’re traveling with a small circle, that’s a strong way to keep it personal without turning it into a solo experience.
Photos by Email and Optional Recordings: Keepsakes Without the Hassle

Two keepsake options stand out. First, photos are included and sent to your email. That’s convenient because you don’t have to rely on someone in your group to capture the moment correctly.
Second, there are optional audio and video recordings. The word “optional” matters. If you want recordings, decide ahead of time so you’re not stuck in the moment making a call.
For most people, recordings are less about building a library and more about not missing details afterward. With a séance-style experience, you can walk out with a lot of emotional and practical information. Having photos and optional media can help you revisit the key points later.
Price and Value: What $1,095 Buys You in the Real World

At $1,095 per person, this is not a casual add-on. It’s priced like a high-touch, scheduled experience—closer to a private session than a standard activity.
So where’s the value? From the structure, you’re paying for:
- A psychic medium traveling to you format (even though the New Orleans listing is here, the concept is travel-ready)
- All accommodations included and travel expenses included
- The ability to customize your event
- A private group experience, with optional audience viewing
- Photos included by email
- Optional audio/video recordings
That combination is why it can feel worth it to people who know exactly what they want: a guided, focused spiritual reading experience with tangible follow-up keepsakes.
The consideration is that some basics aren’t included. If your event setup requires a space plan, you may need to coordinate physical items yourself. That can change the real cost, at least in time and logistics.
Logistics That Matter: Mobile Ticket, Confirmation, and Timing

You’ll receive a confirmation within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. That’s useful because you can make final plans once you have that confirmation window.
You’ll also use a mobile ticket. That’s a practical detail: plan on having your phone charged and accessible the night of the event.
And because it’s scheduled at 8:00 pm, you’ll want an arrival rhythm that keeps your group calm. A séance is already an attention-heavy experience. When your group is stressed about timing, it’s harder to settle in.
The experience is also listed as near public transportation, which can help if you’re staying somewhere without easy parking.
What’s Not Included: Round Table, Seating, Venue, and Equipment
This part is important. The not-included list is unusually specific. It states:
- Client provides a round table
- No decorations
- No seating
- No venue
- No equipment
That doesn’t mean the experience will be chaotic. It means you should treat this as a “bring what’s needed for your setup” situation and confirm what you’re expected to provide.
If you’re booking for a home-based or rented-space event, the seating and venue items are the kind of details that can quietly derail a night if nobody planned them. If you’re unsure, ask for clarity during booking so your group isn’t scrambling.
The Tone and Approach: Kind, Direct, and Built for Your Questions
The experience is repeatedly described in terms that matter: welcoming, low-pressure, and comfortable even if you’re not sure you believe. Many people describe the medium as down-to-earth and real, with a kind and candid style.
You’ll likely appreciate the pacing. The reading is described as taking its time and ensuring you get the responses you came for. That’s a quality-of-experience issue. When you’re paying for a focused private session, you want depth, not speed.
If your goal is entertainment value, this can still deliver. If your goal is emotional clarity or connecting with something personal, the structure is designed to support that too.
House Setting and Why It Changes the Mood
Even though the session is the main event, the place you’re in matters. The experience is described as a peaceful environment, and there’s mention of a quick tour of the property and options for readings.
That tells you something practical: you’re not stepping into a sterile, anonymous room. The setting is part of the vibe, and the host is described as personable and welcoming.
If you’re the type who needs comfort and clarity before an unusual experience, a calm atmosphere helps you settle your expectations.
Who Should Book This (and Who Might Think Twice)
This tour makes the most sense if you:
- Want a private spiritual reading experience in New Orleans
- Enjoy structured questions and a guided session format
- Like the idea of photos included afterward
- Are traveling with a small group and want it to feel personal (especially up to 5 people for the group séance option)
It may be a harder fit if:
- You don’t want to deal with setup details like round table, seating, or equipment responsibilities
- You’re looking for a standard sightseeing activity with predictable urban logistics and no special event planning
How to Prepare So You Get More From the Reading
You’ll get the best experience if you go in with clear intentions. Because the event is customizable by the buyer, your questions drive the session.
Before you go, decide what you want most:
- One big topic you want answered
- A few questions for the near future
- A personal connection you want to explore
Also, if you want audio or video recordings, decide ahead of time. Optional extras can affect how the session is handled, and you’ll avoid awkward mid-event decisions.
Should You Book This Talking To The Dead On Tour?
Book it if you want a private, nighttime New Orleans séance-style experience led by Psychic Medium Marie, with a clear structure, photos included by email, and the ability to customize the reading to what your group wants. The price is steep, but the package is built around a high-touch, event-like format.
Hold off if you don’t want to coordinate setup items yourself. Because round table, seating, venue, and equipment are listed as not included, you’ll want to be confident you can handle those logistics cleanly.
If you’re curious and open-minded, this kind of experience can leave you feeling both entertained and emotionally stirred. If you’re only interested in a quick, low-effort activity, you might find this too planning-heavy for what you want.
