A night with the dead can change how you see the living. Talking To The Dead On Tour brings you a private, medium-led spiritual event in New Orleans, where audience members can watch readings connected to the Living Dead concept, customized to your group. I like that it’s private and flexible, so you can shape the feel of the night, not just buy a fixed show.

Two big perks I also love are the photos sent to your email and the option to add audio and video recordings. The main drawback to keep in mind: this experience does not include basics like seating, a venue, or equipment, so you’ll want to confirm what you’re responsible for before the night arrives.

Key things that matter before you book

  • Medium-led readings customized by the buyer, with an audience-view setup
  • Photos included and sent to your email after the session
  • Psychic Medium Marie travels to you, with travel expenses and accommodations included
  • Private tour for only your group, with pickup available from your chosen location
  • Group seance pricing for up to 5 people, plus possible group discounts
  • Start time is 8:00 pm, so plan your New Orleans evening around it

A Seance-Style New Orleans Experience on Bourbon Street

Talking To The Dead On Tour - A Seance-Style New Orleans Experience on Bourbon Street
If you’re in New Orleans and you want something different from the usual haunted tours, this is the one that goes straight for the spiritual angle. The whole experience is built around an audience viewing spiritual readings, with the dramatic framing of talking from the mouth of the Living Dead. Think of it less like a lecture and more like a guided, emotional night with room for questions and personal meaning.

The meeting point is 908 Bourbon St, right in the heart of the action. The start time is 8:00 pm, and the tour ends back at the meeting point, which is helpful if you want to keep your plans simple after the reading. You’ll also have the option for pickup from your own location, so you don’t have to scramble for the right bus or rideshare right before things get intense.

This is offered in English, and the tour is designed so that most travelers can participate. It’s also a private tour/activity, meaning only your group is involved—no mixing with strangers if you’re booking a private experience.

What You Actually See: The Living Dead Reading and Audience Format

The headline feature is the spiritual reading setup—an audience viewing format where the event is based on spiritual readings delivered through Psychic Medium Marie under the Living Dead theme. The event is also noted as customized by the buyer, which is your clue that the night isn’t always the same script.

Here’s what this means for you in real terms:

  • You’re not just watching someone perform; you’re part of an evening designed around your group’s questions and focus.
  • The tone can run from entertainment to emotional reflection, depending on what you bring into the room and what comes through during the reading.

From the stories shared by previous participants, the readings can be personal and specific, including topics like family connections and meaningful life direction. One person described receiving insight about a bio dad, including a moment of being emotionally moved during the reading while connecting with past ties. Another described a couples setup and how questions were handled thoughtfully.

One more detail to note: there are options for an attending viewing audience up to 500 and optional audio and video recordings. That tells you the experience can scale, depending on what you book and how you want the event arranged.

Duration Reality: Plan for 2 Hours, But Keep Flex Time

Talking To The Dead On Tour - Duration Reality: Plan for 2 Hours, But Keep Flex Time
The duration is listed as about 2 to 4 hours, and the tour includes about 2 hours of admission ticket time. Translation: you should plan your night like it could take longer than you hope, especially if your group asks questions or if the medium takes time with your readings.

Because your start time is 8:00 pm, you’ll want to keep dinner and any pre-tour stops low-stress. New Orleans can pull you in fast, so I suggest treating this as your anchor event for the evening.

If you’re trying to fit this into a very tight schedule, you might feel rushed. The flip side is that if you want a slower, more focused night, the extra time can be a plus.

Pickup, Mobile Tickets, and a Private Night Only for Your Group

Talking To The Dead On Tour - Pickup, Mobile Tickets, and a Private Night Only for Your Group
Logistics matter, and this one is built to reduce friction. You can arrange pickup by choosing your own location, and you’ll get a mobile ticket. Confirmation is typically provided within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability, so you’re not left hanging forever.

Being near public transportation is also good news, even if you use pickup. In other words: you have more than one way to get there if plans shift.

The private format is a big value lever. Instead of booking a large group and hoping your reading time is meaningful, you can keep the experience focused on your party. That said, private usually means you’re investing more per person, so you’ll want to decide clearly whether a private seance-style event is your kind of evening.

Price and Value: Why $1,095 a Person Can Make Sense

Talking To The Dead On Tour - Price and Value: Why $1,095 a Person Can Make Sense
The price is $1,095 per person, for a night that can run 2 to 4 hours. That number will feel steep if you’re comparing it to standard walking tours or typical museum admissions. But this isn’t a museum visit, and it isn’t just a show.

What you get that often justifies the cost for groups:

  • Psychic Medium Marie travels to you, with travel expenses and all accommodations included
  • Photos included and sent to your email
  • Options for audio and video recordings
  • The ability to pick your own city and pick your group
  • A note that a group seance can be the same price up to 5 people

That “same price up to 5 people” detail is one of the most important value clues in the whole setup. If you’re traveling with friends or planning a couples night, it can take the sting out of the per-person cost.

At the same time, the price is only truly “worth it” if you’re ready for the experience style. If you want a purely factual, entertainment-free event, you may not feel satisfied. If you want a spiritual, reflective night—possibly with emotional moments—this is closer to what you’re paying for.

The Fine Print: What’s Not Included (And Why It Matters)

Talking To The Dead On Tour - The Fine Print: What’s Not Included (And Why It Matters)
Here’s the part that can catch people off guard: the experience does not include a venue, seating, decorations, round table, or equipment.

Why that matters: the event is clearly set up around a particular kind of atmosphere and setup. If you assume the provider will supply everything, you could end up dealing with missing basics on the day.

So do this simple planning step:

  • Decide where the reading will happen for your booking.
  • Ask what your group is responsible for regarding seating or any table needs.
  • Confirm whether any equipment is needed on your side if you plan audio/video recording.

Even if the medium handles the spiritual side, you still need a comfortable physical environment. New Orleans is easy to enjoy in a casual way, but this is a moment that benefits from calm.

Tips to Get the Most From a Medium-Led Night

Talking To The Dead On Tour - Tips to Get the Most From a Medium-Led Night
This kind of event tends to work best when you treat it like a conversation, not a lottery ticket.

Here are practical ways to make your experience smoother:

  • Go with a clear intention. You’ll likely get more out of the night if you focus on what you want answers about.
  • Ask questions when there’s space. Some people describe being given room for questions and getting answers that feel meaningful rather than rushed.
  • Bring your group energy in the right direction. One couple-focused reading was described as thoughtful and matching prior readings back home, which suggests that the emotional openness of the participants matters.
  • If you’re skeptical, still show up open-minded. The best outcomes in spiritual entertainment often come from you being willing to listen, not from you trying to prove it wrong.

If you’re thinking about scheduling, keep your day flexible. An 8:00 pm start means the reading is a night anchor, and you’ll want to avoid stacking it immediately after something exhausting.

Who Should Book This Experience (And Who Might Skip It)

Talking To The Dead On Tour - Who Should Book This Experience (And Who Might Skip It)
This fits best if you want:

  • A private night in New Orleans that’s more personal than standard sightseeing
  • A spiritual-themed experience led by Psychic Medium Marie
  • A setup that includes photos by email and optional recording choices
  • A group plan that may work financially if you’re booking with friends (especially with the up-to-5 group seance note)

You might skip it if:

  • You’re not comfortable with spiritual readings and emotional moments
  • You’re expecting all physical supplies to be provided (seating, venue, decorations, table, equipment are not included)
  • You want a casual, low-cost activity

The people who seem to enjoy it most often treat it as both entertainment and reflection. Some described it as taking them away from everyday stress and pushing them to focus on changes and purpose. Others emphasized the kindness and candor of the reading style.

Should You Book Talking To The Dead On Tour in New Orleans?

Talking To The Dead On Tour - Should You Book Talking To The Dead On Tour in New Orleans?
My take: book it if you’re seeking a guided spiritual evening and you value a private, customizable format. The pickup, private group, photos sent to email, and the provider travel setup (with accommodations and travel expenses included) add real comfort and value—especially for small groups.

Don’t book it if you’re looking for a full-service event where someone supplies everything in the room. You’ll want to confirm venue and setup basics quickly so you aren’t scrambling.

If you’re still on the fence, choose the option that matches your comfort level: a shorter, sample-style reading can be a good way to test the vibe, while a longer, deeper reading is for when you want more time for questions and meaning.
