What a unique and unexpected experience in Singapore! Getting so close and personal with bees is a truly magical experience, especially in such a modern city. Highly recommend spending an afternoon in this secret rooftop garden!

Overall great experience overall & love the cozy speak easy bar at the end. Got lost a little, just wish there was clearer direction.

This was a surprise trip with my sister and we were not disappointed. Eugene has a wealth of stories about local legends and myth and brought the information to life! We got close and personal with the spooky past of Changi, hearing old fishermen tales to modern day sightings. Not only is the tour a fascinating dive into Changi history and the supernatural, we also walked away with the ability to ward off the ghosts of Singapore! Thanks Eugene. Do yourself a favour and see this unique part of Singapore before it disappears!
