Our expertise was recognised by the producers of The Real Marigold Hotel who requested our assistance on the preparation for this very successful BBC1 TV series shown in 2017. The group of celebrities visited sites in and around Kochi, Kerala. South India by Car and Driver advised them on places to visit and we provided the cars and drivers for the filming.
