Itinerary
We take you to see the huge mural of the three-time world champion, Ayrton Senna. The mural has 41 meters high and 17.5 meters wide, painted on the side of a skyscraper on Paulista avenue by the most famous graffiti artist in the world, Eduardo Kobra. All of that while catching other city sights and culture in one of the coolest areas in São Paulo.
Discover the history of the Audi brand in Brazil brought by Ayrton Senna. Drive through an area with dozens of imported car dealerships such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Bentley. Ideal for photo stops!
Then pay your respects at Ayrton's final resting place, visit his graveyard where fans from all over the globe flock to pay homage. 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.
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.
To honor the impact that Senna had, great buildings and monuments are erected and named in his honor, such as highways, tunnels, squares and statues. We passed through the largest road tunnel complex in São Paulo, named after our three-time champion. We visited the square in honor of our three-time champion and the 2.5-ton bronze monument “Speed, Soul and Emotion”.

Traveler reviews
If you go to Sao Paulo you have to have this experience
A must for those who love Ayrton Senna... Danilo is a very kind person, available to your every request and very prepared. I spent one of the most exciting days of my life. Highly recommended 🔝
An amazing day
For any F1/ Senna fan this tour is a must. It covers all sites Senna related. I loved seeing the Interlagos circuit and the kart circuit next to it where Senna grew up racing. Visiting Ayrton’s grave was moving. SID paints was I think the highlight. I got to meet and speak with Alan Mosca, Ayrtons helmet painter. He shared some personal stories about knowing Ayrton. Danilo was my guide. He was passionate about Senna and São Paulo. I even asked if he knew any good spots to stop for coffee. We stopped had coffee and a great chat. I can’t speak highly enough of him.
Superb day for a Senna fanatic
Our São Paulo Senna tour with Danilo was nothing short of extraordinary—truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that exceeded every expectation. From the very start, Danilo made everything seamless, picking us up directly from our hotel in a comfortable, high-quality vehicle and immediately putting us at ease. Navigating the famously chaotic São Paulo traffic with total confidence, he ensured we felt safe and relaxed throughout the day. The itinerary was perfectly curated for any Ayrton Senna fan. Visiting Interlagos was an unforgettable highlight—standing at such an iconic circuit, steeped in Formula 1 history was superb. Danilo brought it all to life with his incredible depth of knowledge, not just about Senna’s legendary career, but also about his personal life, values, and lasting legacy in Brazil and beyond. We also loved stopping at SID’s racing helmet store, which felt like a hidden gem for motorsport enthusiasts, and the visit to a local street market was a fantastic cultural touch. Trying pastels for lunch—especially the palm heart, which was a first for us—was a delicious and memorable experience. One of the most moving moments of the entire tour was visiting Ayrton Senna’s grave. In the beautifully kept Morumbi cemetery, it was a deeply emotional and reflective experience. Danilo handled this part of the tour with genuine respect and sensitivity, giving us time to take it all in. We also visited the park dedicated to Senna, which further highlighted how beloved he remains in Brazil—not just as a driver, but as a national hero who inspired millions with his determination, humility, and philanthropy. What truly made the day exceptional, though, was Danilo himself. He is charming, friendly, and incredibly passionate. His knowledge of Formula 1, motorsport, and cars in general is outstanding, and he shared it in such an engaging and personal way. He didn’t just guide us—he elevated the entire experience, making sure every moment was special. This tour was the trip of a lifetime for us, and Danilo made it absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
