On 1 May 1994, Brazilian Formula One driver Ayrton Senna was killed after his car crashed into a concrete barrier while he was leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy. This became a turning point in the safety of Formula One, prompting the implementation of new safety measures in both Formula One and the circuit, as well as the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association to be reestablished.
- Avenida Autódromo - From there, we go to Interlagos racetrack that hosts the Brazilian F1 Grand Prix and it’s consolidated as one of the best motorsport tracks in the world. Senna’s first official victory on Kart happened at Interlagos Kart Circuit, nowadays the karting track is named after him.

Best tour guide in São Paulo! - I found this tour through GetYourGuide. Bruno was a great tour guide, very accommodating, polite, punctual and knowledgeable. Bit unfortunate I wasn’t able to see the Interlagos Circuit properly, but Bruno did his best to make sure I saw as much of it as possible and for that I am grateful. I learned a lot about the legendary Ayrton Senna and the history of São Paulo. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Memories to last a lifetime. I’d recommend this tour 100%!

Can't miss this tour of Senna's Sao Paulo - Danilo is a top notch tour guide. He made the 2 of us feel very special, like we were on our own secret tour. Danilo's love of cars SHINES through, which is perfect for this tour. If you're lucky you may even get to visit one of the most special places in Senna's history and maybe even get to see a helmet or two. If you love motor sports, this is the tour for you. And definitely ask for Danilo.

A must do for Senna fans!! - This tour is an absolute must if you’re a Senna fan or car enthusiast in general or even to learn about São Paulo & it’s culture.
My daughter & I had a personal tour with Danilo who was fantastic! Not only did we learn stuff about Ayrton & his family, we visited all the iconic places plus Danilo negotiated & managed to establish a new stop on the tour being Sid’s Paint Studio who painted all of Ayrton’s helmets.
Of course this resulted in me purchasing an authentic replica helmet painted by Sid’s granddaughter, Stella who is a lovely lady with a genuine passion for fans to experience the magic of seeing Senna’s helmets. What’s important to note here, is Sid’s Paint Studio is the only authorised helmet painter licensed by the Ayrton Senna Foundation to paint replicas and authentication certificates are issued with every helmet.
I highly recommend this tour to any Senna fan. Thank you Danilo!
Regards, Mark & Kali

Uff... look no further, you've arrived at the tour of your dreams... - If you're a fan of Ayrton Senna and/or F1 Racing this tour is a must. Hotel pickup, Autódronomo Interlagos (we got lucky there were races going on), Ayrton's statue, went to his grave site, to a park with a sculpture in homage to Senna, through a tunnel named after the man, plus some unexpected surprises... this trip has it all! Not only was Danilo a master on all things Senna, he also gave us a background on the history and economy of Sao Paulo. The man can cover any topic, plus he speaks fluent spanish, english, italian and portuguese. The service was unparalleled. It exceeded our expectations. This dude deserves raise. Make it happen Gregtur Tourism!

Great tour, Bruno is an excellent guide! - Being a big fan of Ayrton Senna and architecture, I don't think we could have find any better than Bruno as a guide for this tour. His knowledge of the history of Brazil and Sao Paolo were extremely interesting and well dosed depending on what we were actually seeing.
After a moment of emotion on Senna's grave, we had the chance to witness a very loud prototype practice on the Interlagos circuit! It was amazing!
From one place to another, Bruno was an excellent guide and a formidable driver. We always felt safe in his company!
I do recommend this tour to all Senna fans and I would not hesitate to discover more with him on the next visit, like the museums of Sao Paolo. I will definitely keep an unforgettable memory of that day!
