The original RV tour in the centre, with the Los Pollos Hermanos stop. Beside it, the cheapest way
to see the sites (a self-guided drive) and a city trolley that passes a few of them.
The original guided tour in a replica of the show's RV: Walt's house, Jesse's house, the car wash, Saul's office and a light meal at the real Los Pollos Hermanos.
What's included
Guided tour of 20+ Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and El Camino locations
Ride in a replica of the show's RV (small groups can run by SUV)
Light meal and drink at Twisters, the real Los Pollos Hermanos
Show trivia with prizes, clips between stops, guides who worked on the shows
Not included: $5 parking fee paid at check-in; no child discount

walking and balloon tours cancel free up to 24 hours ahead; the self-guided audio tour is non-refundable.
What you actually get
The RV is real. Walt's house is a drive-by.
Albuquerque is where Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and El Camino were set and filmed, and most locations
are ordinary homes, shops and restaurants still in use. The Breaking Bad RV Tour strings more than 20
of them into one morning from Old Town, in a replica of the battered motorhome Walt and Jesse cooked in, with
guides who worked on the shows, trivia for prizes and clips played between stops.
Know what you are buying. Walter White's house is a private home: the owners fenced it after fans
threw pizzas on the roof, so you see it from the street. Some sites are photo stops, others are slow
drive-bys, and the list changes with traffic and active filming. The RV itself runs on set days with at
least six guests; small groups can travel by SUV instead.

★★★★★
What a great tour! Great experience with loads of things to see and great hosts adding loads of value. Much better than a recorded sightseeing tour with commentary. Worth every minute and every penny.
★★★★★
This was super fun and informative. The tour guides worked on the show, so lots of behind the scenes stuff. They covered Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, El Camino and even Pluribus.
★★★★★
Husband and I are huge fans of the show and really enjoyed seeing the places in person. The narrator does a great job and really brings it to life.
★★★★★
Incredibly fun, zero seconds of boredom. The hosts were great, constantly giving us Breaking Bad fun facts and videos to watch in between locations.
★★★★★
If you love all the Vince Gilligan ABQ projects, you will love this tour. So much fun and it also serves as a great ABQ tour in general as you see a lot of the city.
★★★★★
Wonderful tour all over the city and being able to see around 30 filming locations is great.
★★★★★
This tour was thought out, detailed and personalized at the same time. A wealth of information was shared about the shows, area and about the behind the scenes tidbits. Highly recommended!
★★★★★
Absolutely loved this experience. So many locations to see. Maps for every location and an audio that had some amazing information from the show.
★★★★★
I'm a huge fan of both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and sitting in a Bounder riding around ABQ seeing some of the locations from both shows is super cool!

Albuquerque's other famous view: a sunrise flight with Rainbow Ryders over the Rio Grande Valley, low enough to skim the river and high enough to watch first light hit the Sandia Mountains, then a sparkling-wine toast after landing. It is the most reviewed experience on this page, with over 1,400 reviews.
Breaking Bad made Albuquerque a character, and a decade on fans still come to see the car wash,
the chicken restaurant and the house with the pizza on the roof. Here is how the tours work, what they cost,
and how to see the city the show made famous without annoying the people who live there.
Why Albuquerque is the place
Breaking Bad was planned for California and moved to New Mexico for production, and the show leaned into
it: the Sandia Mountains, the desert washes, Central Avenue's old Route 66 motels and the suburban streets of
the Northeast Heights are all on screen. Better Call Saul and El Camino came back to the same streets, so many
locations appear in more than one story. Most are still working businesses or private homes, which is why a
guided tour that knows where to stop, and where only to slow down, is the easiest way to see them.
The RV tour includes a light meal at Twisters, the restaurant that played Los Pollos Hermanos.
What the tours really cost
The Breaking Bad RV Tour is from $125 per person on Viator in 2026, with free cancellation up to 24
hours before, a light meal at Los Pollos Hermanos and a $5 parking fee paid on the day. The operator lists
$95 plus tax on its own site, but direct bookings lose $25 per ticket if you cancel or reschedule. There is
no child or senior discount. At the other end, the self-guided audio tour is $10 per person: you drive
your own car, follow map links and listen to narration at each stop, but you cannot get a refund. The
trolley city tour at $35 covers Old Town, Route 66 and a few filming spots, without getting off.
The honest small print: the RV only rolls out on its tour days with at least six
guests, so a small group on a quiet day may ride in an SUV. Some sites are drive-bys, the route changes with
filming, and a few guests report running 30 to 45 minutes over three hours. Walt's house is seen from the
street only.
Guided or self-guided?
The RV tour is about the company as much as the sites: guides who worked on the shows, behind-the-scenes
stories, clips between stops, trivia for prizes and a group of fans who know every line. Guests who had done
recorded tours elsewhere say the live hosts make the difference. The self-guided tour suits fans with a rental
car, a flexible day and a fixed budget, and it lets you linger where you want. If you choose it, get the audio
and maps working before you set off, and treat the homes on the route with the same care a guide would.
Blue rock candy is Old Town's favourite Breaking Bad souvenir.
Making a day of it
Take the morning RV tour, then stay in Old Town: the Breaking Bad Store at the meeting point has a small
museum of props and photo set-ups, and shops nearby sell bags of blue rock candy. In the afternoon, drive
Central Avenue for the Route 66 neon, eat at the Dog House if it is open, and check whether there is an event
at the convention center downtown, where bronze statues of Walt and Jesse stand inside. If you have another
morning, a sunrise balloon flight shows you the whole valley the show was filmed in.
Central Avenue's Route 66 motels are part of the show's look.
Straight answers to what fans ask most about the Breaking Bad tours in Albuquerque.
How much is the Breaking Bad RV tour?
On Viator the RV tour is from $125 per person in 2026, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before and a light meal at Los Pollos Hermanos included. A $5 parking fee is paid at check-in. The operator's own site lists $95 plus tax, but direct bookings carry a $25 per ticket fee if you cancel or reschedule. There is no child discount. See the price guide.
How long is the Breaking Bad tour in Albuquerque?
The RV tour is sold as about three hours, and the operator describes it as a three-and-a-half-hour tour. Guests occasionally report finishing closer to 3 hours 45 minutes, so do not book anything tight straight afterwards.
Do you actually ride in the RV?
Usually, yes: the operator runs a replica of the show's RV on its RV tour days (Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday) and needs at least six guests to roll it out. Smaller groups and other days can run in an SUV or van, and some past guests rode a bus instead. If the RV matters to you, pick one of those days.
Where does the Breaking Bad RV tour start?
At the Breaking Bad Store in Old Town, 2049 S Plaza St NW, just south of the church on the plaza. The Viator listing gives a 9:00 AM start and the tour ends back at the store. Park across the street at the Walgreens on Rio Grande and Central.
Can you go inside Walter White's house?
No. The house at 3828 Piermont Drive NE is a private home, and after fans threw pizzas on the roof the owners put up a fence. Tours and visitors see it from the street only: do not stop in the driveway or approach the house. Read how to see Walt's house respectfully.
Is Los Pollos Hermanos real?
The restaurant you see on screen is Twisters at 4257 Isleta Blvd SW, a local fast-food chain that sells burritos, burgers and chicken. The RV tour stops there for a light meal and drink. Read about visiting Los Pollos Hermanos.
Which locations does the tour visit?
More than 20, including Jesse's house, Jane's apartment, the Dog House, Tuco's headquarters, the Crossroads Motel, the car wash, Saul's office, Walt's house and Twisters. The list changes with traffic and with active filming, and some are drive-bys rather than photo stops.
Is the Breaking Bad tour suitable for kids?
The operator rates it PG-13: children must be with an adult, there is no child discount, and children under 60 lb need a car seat. Families with older children report a good time, but show clips include adult content.
Can I do a Breaking Bad tour on my own?
Yes. The $10 self-guided audio tour gives you narration and map links for each stop while you drive your own car. It is the cheapest option, but it is non-refundable and some guests struggled with the app at first. Compare them in RV tour vs self-guided.
Are Better Call Saul locations included?
Yes. The RV tour guides cover Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and El Camino locations, and recent guests say the newer Vince Gilligan series Pluribus came up too. Saul's office on Montgomery Boulevard is on the route.
Can I cancel my Breaking Bad tour?
The RV tour and the trolley tour cancel free up to 24 hours before on Viator. The self-guided audio tour is non-refundable once booked.
Where are the Walter White and Jesse Pinkman statues?
Inside the Albuquerque Convention Center downtown. They can only be seen when an event is on there, so check the convention center calendar before you go. More in Albuquerque for Breaking Bad fans.
