Talking To The Dead On Tour

★ 5.0 · 8 reviews 2 to 4 hours (approx.) From $1,095 Operated by Psychic Medium Marie · Bookable on Viator

The unusual heart of this New Orleans experience is a private audience for spiritual readings delivered through Psychic Medium Marie, described as messages spoken through the mouth of the Living Dead. You can arrange a group seance for up to five people, or build a much larger event with up to 500 optional viewers. I like the flexible location and the fact that Marie travels to you, with travel costs and accommodations included. I also like the personal touch: photos are included and sent by email, and optional audio and video recordings can preserve the evening.

The catch is the high $1,095 per-person price and the unusual setup duties. You must provide the round table, seating, venue, decorations if wanted, and all equipment. The advertised timing is roughly two to four hours, but you need to allow extra time for booking confirmation and travel arrangements.

Key points at a glance

Talking To The Dead On Tour - Key points at a glance

  • Psychic Medium Marie travels to your chosen city, so this is not limited to a standard New Orleans venue.
  • A group seance costs the same for up to five people, making the math very different for one person and a full group.
  • You can arrange a private event, with optional attendance for as many as 500 viewers.
  • Photos are included and emailed, while audio and video recordings are available as optional additions.
  • You provide the practical setup, including a round table, seating, venue, and equipment.
  • The New Orleans meeting point is 908 Bourbon Street at 8:00 pm, with pickup available from a location you choose.

What actually happens during the New Orleans reading

This is not a sightseeing tour with several city stops. The listed New Orleans itinerary is one private spiritual event, lasting about two hours, with the wider booking window described as two to four hours. You arrange an audience for readings and decide how personal or group-focused the session should be.

The central feature is a reading connected with the dead and past loved ones. The supplied accounts describe emotional contact with a deceased father, past-life readings, and messages about personal purpose and future direction. You should treat those claims as part of the spiritual nature of the activity, not as something that can be independently verified.

Marie’s style, based on the experience details available, is personal and conversational. She is described as welcoming, down to earth, kind, humorous, candid, and willing to take time with a reading. That matters here. A psychic session can feel rushed or theatrical if the person leading it pushes through a list of attendees. This one is presented as a setting where you can ask questions and receive a thoughtful reading.

One account describes a short reading chosen by someone who had little time and did not fully know what to believe. That is useful guidance for you: the activity can work for the curious as well as for committed believers. You may come for entertainment and leave with material to think about, but you should decide in advance how seriously you want to take the messages.

Why the private format matters

Talking To The Dead On Tour - Why the private format matters

The private booking is one of the strongest features. Only your group participates, so you are not placed with strangers who may change the mood or make personal questions harder to ask. A couple can book together, or friends can share the experience and compare what they hear afterward.

The stated group seance price is the same for up to five people. Since the listed cost is $1,095 per person, you should ask for a clear written total before paying. The wording suggests that a group of five may receive better value than one person, but the public details do not fully explain how the per-person price and group rate work together.

For a group of five, the listed per-person figure would total $5,475 if charged literally. That is a serious expense for a two-hour experience. At the same time, the package is not simply a single short reading in a fixed room. It includes the medium’s travel, accommodations, and travel expenses, plus a private format and possible event customization. If you are organizing a special gathering and would otherwise need to arrange a medium, transport, and lodging separately, those inclusions may change the calculation.

I would not book this casually on the assumption that the group rate will sort itself out. Confirm the exact price for one, two, and five participants. Also ask how the optional audience of up to 500 affects the cost, since the available details do not give a separate large-event price.

Marie’s approach to personal readings

Talking To The Dead On Tour - Marie’s approach to personal readings

The most praised part of the experience is the feeling of personal attention. One account describes Marie taking time to complete the reading and answer every question. Another describes a couple’s session in which both partners received details they felt could not have been known in advance.

You can expect the tone to be welcoming rather than forceful. A short reading was offered without pressure, and the setting was described as peaceful. That is important if you are uncertain about psychic work or want to test the format before committing to a longer session.

The material also includes past-life readings. These are not the same as messages from a deceased relative, so tell Marie what kind of session interests you when you book. The event is customized by the buyer, and that should give you room to set the focus, but the exact choices are not spelled out.

You may also receive advice that feels less like a prediction and more like a prompt for personal change. One account describes leaving with motivation to pursue a more satisfying career. Another describes receiving answers to problems that had not been clearly recognized before. I would frame this as reflective value rather than guaranteed guidance. The useful part may be the conversation and the questions it raises, even if you remain unsure about the supernatural explanation.

The New Orleans meeting point and pickup choices

Talking To The Dead On Tour - The New Orleans meeting point and pickup choices

The listed start point is 908 Bourbon Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70116, with an 8:00 pm start. Pickup is offered, and you can choose your own pickup location. The activity ends back at the meeting point.

Those details leave one practical question: how does your selected pickup point fit with the Bourbon Street start and return? Confirm the exact door-to-door plan before the evening. The description says to choose your own location, but it does not give a route, pickup time, vehicle details, or a separate transfer schedule.

The location is near public transportation, which gives you another way to reach the start. Still, an 8:00 pm appointment and a session connected with Bourbon Street can make timing important. Book in advance and allow time for travel, as requested in the experience details. If you are organizing a group, agree on one meeting plan rather than expecting everyone to arrive separately.

The private format also means the start time may matter more than it would on a standard walking tour. A late arrival could interrupt a reading, especially if the session is built around individual messages. The available information does not state a late-arrival policy, so punctuality is the safest approach.

A completely different side of New Orleans:

What you must arrange yourself

Talking To The Dead On Tour - What you must arrange yourself

This is where the event differs from an ordinary paid tour. You provide the round table, seating, venue, and equipment. No decorations are included. If you picture a fully staged seance room waiting for you, adjust that expectation.

The round table is specifically required by the package details. You need to decide where it will be placed and how many people will sit around it. Seating is not included, so a private home, rented room, or event space must already have suitable chairs unless you arrange them separately.

The venue is also your responsibility. Marie travels to you, but that does not mean she supplies the room. For a small group, your chosen location may be simple. For a larger audience, the venue becomes a major part of the budget and planning, especially if you approach the optional capacity of 500 viewers.

Equipment is not included either. This matters if you want audio or video recording, extra sound support, or a large audience to hear the reading clearly. Optional recordings are available, but the supplied details do not say who provides the cameras, microphones, or other gear. Ask before booking so you do not pay for a recording option without knowing what it covers.

Photos and recording options

Talking To The Dead On Tour - Photos and recording options

Photos are included and sent to your email. That is a useful keepsake, particularly for a private event shared by a couple or close friends. Confirm which email address should receive them and how many photos are included, since the package information does not provide those details.

Audio and video recordings are optional. I can see the appeal: a reading may contain several names, details, or personal messages that are hard to remember in the moment. A recording lets you listen again later, when the emotion of the session has settled.

There is also a practical concern. Recording a spiritual reading can change the feel of the room, and some people may prefer a more private exchange. Decide as a group before the session begins. If the recording is important to you, confirm the format, equipment, delivery method, and any extra fee in writing.

Is $1,095 per person good value?

Talking To The Dead On Tour - Is $1,095 per person good value?

For a single person, the price is difficult to justify unless you place high value on a private, customized reading and the included travel arrangements. The session lasts about two hours, or possibly as long as four hours depending on the booking, so the cost per hour remains substantial.

For a group, the calculation is more favorable if the same group price truly applies to as many as five people. The package also includes the medium’s travel expenses and accommodations, which could matter if you are arranging the event outside New Orleans. A group that wants a private spiritual gathering may find the service more practical than booking separate readings.

Still, this is not a low-cost Bourbon Street activity. You also pay indirectly in time and planning because you supply the venue, table, seating, decorations, and equipment. Add those costs before deciding. A rented room and recording gear could change the final total by a great deal.

I would compare this with the price of a standard individual psychic reading in your home city. The main difference here is customization and travel. If you only want a quick introduction to psychic work, this package is probably too expensive. If you are planning a special group event and want Marie to come to you, the value is easier to understand.

Who will get the most from this experience?

Talking To The Dead On Tour - Who will get the most from this experience?

I would recommend it most to a small group of friends, couples, or families who already have a clear interest in spiritual readings. The private setting gives each person room to participate without strangers listening in. Five people is also the stated maximum for the same group seance price, so that is the natural size for a manageable evening.

It may suit someone marking a personal transition, seeking a reflective conversation about work or purpose, or hoping to connect with a deceased relative. The accounts connected with the experience include emotional moments involving a biological father and messages about life direction.

You do not have to be fully convinced before booking. The available experience details include someone who was unsure about this type of work but found the reading interesting and accurate. That said, I would avoid booking if you are uncomfortable with claims about the dead, past lives, or future guidance.

I also would not use this as a substitute for professional medical, legal, financial, or mental health advice. The supplied details present the event as a spiritual and personal experience, not as a professional service in any of those fields.

Booking, confirmation, and cancellation

Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. That makes advance planning important, especially if you are coordinating a group, arranging a venue, or asking Marie to travel outside New Orleans.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. A cancellation made less than 24 hours before the experience is not refunded, and changes inside that same period are not accepted. Keep the local time in mind if you are booking from another time zone.

The experience is offered in English. Most people can participate, and it is near public transportation. The details do not provide a fuller accessibility description, so contact the provider if your group has specific mobility, hearing, seating, or equipment needs.

Should you book Talking To The Dead On Tour?

Book it if you want a private, highly customized spiritual session and you are prepared to organize the room around it. Psychic Medium Marie’s personal manner, time for questions, included photos, and travel-to-you format make this more than a quick drop-in reading.

Think twice if you want a cheap New Orleans activity, a ready-made venue, or a conventional tour with a clear sightseeing route. The price is high, the practical setup is yours, and the exact group pricing needs clarification. My best advice is to get the final total, travel plan, venue requirements, recording costs, and session format in writing before you commit.
