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.

A great experience in São Paulo with Bruno - This tour was a great experience with our Guide Bruno. We learned more about the life of Ayrton Senna and Sao Paulo. Bruno informed us very well and made us discover unique experiences. Thank you Bruno for this great ride.
However, the only problem with this tour concerns the tour operator. We have paid a relatively high Award and we only learn the day before that the Interlagos circuit is closed, it is a shame. Luckily Bruno managed to fill the time with other interesting city tours.

Unbeatable tour - Among the immense variety of options offered by the city and the agency, we decided to try something different, a more recent and glorious history: Ayrton Senna.
The tour, as we say in Mexico, was camped: we visited the interlagos autodrome, where fortunately we had to witness a motorcycle practice and appreciate a mural of the great Eduardo Kobra.
Later, we visited the factory of pilots helmets, which is a real museum and were kindly attended by their owners, who have a good relationship of affection with our guide Danilo, which undoubtedly influenced the excellent treatment.
We also visited the tomb of Senna, the statue in his honor, a mural more of Kobra and a viewpoint in av. Paulista.
Very good experience and cost/product ratio also unbeatable. Our guide, very friendly, cultured and informed of your country. Looks like she loves him.
Congratulations to the agency!

Don't miss out on this Ayrton Senna & City tour! - My family are obsessed about F1 and I was keen to see more of this vast inspiring City, which a typical tourist wouldn't see.
We would not be disappointed!!
Danilo, our guide, was amazing, picking us up from our hotel, showing us the Senna sights, such as the Kobra mural, peaceful graveyard, park sculpture and treating us to a visit to the Sid workshop, where they make & hand paint authorised Senna helmets and for drivers, such as Hamilton.
Anyone with an interest and passion for Motorsports should book this tour with Gregtur & Danilo.
Danilo speaks perfect English, is a local from Sao Paulo and shares so much information about the City's history, social, cultural, economic and political background.
We were fascinated and really connected with Danilo, which helped as we spent 9 hours together in his cool truck, driving around the various districts.
We ended our trip at Interlagos race circuit and got to see a local race.
Then finished the tour at the neighbouring Interlagos Kart Circuit, where 3 of the family raced with other people.
This was a perfect way to end the day.
We booked the karting via Gregtur, so I'd recommend doing the same.
Danilo was funny, approachable, warm, kind and so hospitable. We really enjoyed the day with him and he made things so easy for everyone. A wonderful host who loves cars and Senna.
This trip gets 10/10.
If you're coming to Sao Paulo and you're not even a massive F1 nut, you will still enjoy this tour.
Go for it!

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
