Talking To The Dead On Tour
A private reading with Psychic Medium Marie is the heart of this experience: a spiritual session framed around messages from the dead, arranged for you and your group. It is less a standard New Orleans tour than an appointment built around readings, with the option to choose where Marie meets you.
I like that the group price covers up to five people, which can make a shared session feel more worthwhile than booking separate readings. I also like the flexibility: Marie can travel to your chosen city, and photos are included and sent by email.
The main catch is practical, not mysterious: you supply the venue, table, seating, and equipment. The meeting details also name a Bourbon Street address while saying you can pick your location, so confirm the exact plan before booking.
What to know before you book

- Marie travels to your chosen location, and the stated travel expenses and accommodations are included.
- Up to five people can join a group séance at the same price, according to the experience details.
- You arrange the setting yourself: no venue, table, chairs, decorations, or equipment are provided.
- The session is private, so only your group participates. Optional viewing capacity is listed as up to 500.
- Photos are included and emailed to you. Audio and video recordings are optional.
- The advertised price is $1,095 per person, so confirm how that rate applies to your chosen group size and format.
A spiritual session, not a sightseeing route
The title may suggest a haunted walk through the French Quarter. That is not what you are booking. The experience centers on spiritual readings presented as communication with the dead, with the session customized by the buyer.
That difference matters. You are not paying for a guide to lead you through a set of historic sites or tell a standard ghost story. You are arranging a personal event with Psychic Medium Marie, where the reading itself is the main attraction.
The supplied details refer to an audience viewing spiritual readings, and also describe a private activity for your group. Optional viewing for up to 500 people is listed, but the exact format for that larger audience is not explained. If you are planning an event with more than five participants, ask Marie how the reading, audience, and pricing would work before you commit.
The session may include communication framed as messages from people who have died. Some people book hoping for that kind of connection; others may come out of curiosity or for the entertainment value. I would go in open to the experience, but not expecting a guaranteed outcome. Spiritual readings are personal, and what feels meaningful to one person may not persuade another.

What happens during the reading

The itinerary gives New Orleans as the stop and describes a two-hour reading, while the overall duration is listed as approximately two to four hours. That leaves room for uncertainty about how long your booked event will run. Ask for the expected session length, especially if you have dinner plans or other evening activities.
The evening start time is listed as 8:00 pm. That can work well if you want the reading to be the main event of the night, but it is late enough to shape the rest of your plans. Give yourself time to arrive, get settled, and avoid squeezing the session between other commitments.
Marie’s readings, as described by people who have booked her, have included connection with deceased family members, past-life readings, and personal guidance. One person described gaining insight connected to a father who had died; another said a reading helped bring focus to career choices. A couple booked readings together, and one person who did not consider themselves a believer still found the session interesting and felt some of the information was accurate.
Those reactions give you a useful sense of the possible range, not a promise of what you will hear. Some people describe an emotional or personally significant experience, while others approach it as an intriguing sample. If you have a particular question or person in mind, think about whether you want to share that context beforehand, or prefer to arrive with fewer expectations. The information provided does not specify how Marie conducts the reading, so ask her directly if the method matters to you.
A shared session for friends or family

The stated group-seance price is the same for up to five people. That makes this a natural fit for a small group who want to experience the reading together, rather than take turns booking individual appointments. It can also make the cost easier to divide, though the listed price is per person, so do not assume the group total until you confirm the exact charge.
The experience is described as private, with only your group participating. That privacy may help if you want to discuss personal matters or ask questions without a public audience. At the same time, sharing a reading changes its feel: you will hear what others ask and receive, and the session may be less focused on any one person than a one-to-one appointment.
The strongest praise in the available accounts centers on Marie’s manner. People describe her as welcoming, friendly, down to earth, and kind, and say she gave them room to ask questions. One account describes her taking time to work through answers; another says she followed up after the paid session with additional information. These are encouraging signs if you value a warm, conversational setting, but they should not be read as a guarantee that every session will unfold the same way.
Some of the most enthusiastic accounts came from people who said the readings felt strikingly accurate or emotionally affecting. One person booked again with friends after an earlier reading, and another said a reading matched one they had received elsewhere. If you are seeking a meaningful personal experience, those details may explain the appeal. Keep your own judgment in the room, too.
Choose the location carefully

Marie is described as traveling to you, with travel expenses and accommodations included. That flexibility is useful if you are organizing a private event or want to meet somewhere other than the listed New Orleans address. It also means the location is part of your planning rather than a fixed venue that comes with the booking.
There is a wrinkle in the supplied meeting information. The start point is given as 908 Bourbon Street, but the pickup note says you can pick your own location, and the experience description says Marie travels to you. Treat the address as something to confirm, not as a firm instruction. Before paying, agree on the location, arrival time, and whether the event will take place at your address or another arranged venue.
You are responsible for the physical setup. The provider does not supply a venue, round table, seating, decorations, or equipment. If you are hosting at a rental or private space, check that the owner allows an outside provider and that the room can comfortably fit your group. A quiet, private setting may suit a reading better than a busy public spot, but the information does not prescribe a particular kind of room.
The listing says the activity is near public transportation and that most people can participate. That is helpful if you are meeting at the New Orleans address, but it does not answer every access question. If you have mobility needs or require a particular setup, confirm details with Marie before booking, especially if you are choosing your own location.

Recording, photos, and audience options

Photos are included and sent to your email. Audio and video recordings are listed as optional, so ask whether you need to request them in advance, whether they carry an extra charge, and how they will be delivered. Those details are not specified.
The option for up to 500 viewers suggests the event may be adaptable for a larger audience, but the exact format is unclear. The base group information separately says a private group séance has the same price for up to five people. If you are planning a larger gathering, do not assume that the five-person arrangement or advertised price automatically applies. Get a written explanation of audience size, session format, and any additional costs.
Photos and recordings can be useful if you want to remember the event, but consider privacy before you agree to capture a personal reading. If several people are attending, make sure everyone is comfortable with images or recordings being made and shared.
Does $1,095 make sense for you?

At $1,095 per person, this is a costly experience. Its value depends less on the length of the session than on how much you want a private spiritual reading, how you interpret the experience, and how the final group price is calculated. Travel expenses and accommodations are included, and the same group-seance price is stated for up to five people, but the per-person wording makes it especially important to verify the amount you will actually pay.
If that price is truly shared across a group of up to five, the cost per person would be far lower than booking five separate sessions. But the details do not clearly say whether $1,095 is the total group price or a per-person rate, and those two readings of the price produce very different budgets. Do not book until the provider confirms the total in writing, including any fees for optional recording or a larger audience.
The session may be good value if you specifically want a private reading with Marie, appreciate the option of a custom location, and are comfortable treating the event as an open-ended personal experience. It is harder to justify if you mainly want an inexpensive ghost-themed activity or a guided history tour. You are paying for the reading, not for a packaged sightseeing itinerary, a furnished venue, or a broad range of included attractions.
Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancel later than that and the amount paid is not refunded; changes made within 24 hours are not accepted. Confirmation is due within 48 hours of booking and is subject to availability, so avoid making firm plans around the appointment until your booking is confirmed.
Who is likely to enjoy it

I would consider this for a small group of friends or relatives who are genuinely curious about mediumship and would enjoy talking about the experience afterward. It may also suit someone seeking a personal reading connected to a deceased loved one or a past-life session, though no particular subject or result is guaranteed.
It is a less natural fit if you want a conventional tour with a guide, a set route, included transport around the city, or a venue ready when you arrive. It may also disappoint if you expect a specific message from a particular person. The experience is built around spiritual readings, not a guaranteed answer.
For a first-time visitor to New Orleans, I would treat it as a specialized evening activity, not a substitute for exploring the city’s history and neighborhoods. If the spiritual element is what you want, Marie’s reported warmth and the private format are appealing. If you are unsure, ask whether a shorter sample reading is available; one person described choosing a brief option during a visit to Marie’s place, but that option is not formally detailed here.
Should you book Talking To The Dead On Tour?

Book it if you want a private, personal spiritual reading and are willing to approach it with curiosity rather than certainty. The reported warmth of Marie’s manner, the option to include a small group, and the possibility of choosing your own location are the clearest strengths.
Pause if the price is not clear, if you need a venue or seating included, or if you are expecting a standard New Orleans ghost tour. Before booking, confirm the total cost for your group, the exact location, session length, and any recording fees. Those answers will tell you whether this unusual appointment is the right fit for your plans.
