Check dates for the Breaking Bad RV TourWhere is the car wash from Breaking Bad?
The A1A Car Wash is a real Mister Car Wash at 9516 Snow Heights Circle NE, in the Northeast Heights.
It is a working car wash, so the polite way to visit is to buy a wash. The RV tour stops nearby for photos.
Where is Saul Goodman's office?
In a strip mall at 9800 Montgomery Blvd NE; the space has been used by other businesses since filming.
Fans photograph the frontage from the parking lot. It is the first stop on the self-guided audio tour.
Where is Jesse Pinkman's house?
In a residential street just south of Old Town, a red-brick house. Jane's apartment is a few miles away on Terrace Street SE.
Both are private residences. The RV tour stops on the street outside, which is the right way to see them.
Let a guide find the right spots and tell the stories behind each one.
Explore the Breaking Bad RV TourWhat about the Dog House and the Crossroads Motel?
Both are on Central Avenue, old Route 66: the Dog House drive-in on the west side of downtown, the Crossroads Motel east of it.
The Dog House, a drive-in that appears in the show, is a hot dog stand that still serves customers. The Crossroads Motel is a working motel; photograph it from the street.
Is there anything to see from El Camino and Better Call Saul?
Yes. The RV tour covers locations from Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and El Camino, and recent guests say newer Vince Gilligan productions came up too.
The operator even owns an RV that appeared in El Camino. Ask your guides which locations are new on the day.
Can you visit the desert cook sites?
The cook scenes were shot on private land and tribal land outside the city, so they are not on standard tours.
The operator runs separate desert SUV tours on set dates; check its own site. Do not drive onto private or tribal land to look for locations.
What is the easiest way to see them all?
A guided tour: the RV tour links more than 20 locations in about three hours, with someone else doing the driving.
With a car, the $10 audio tour gives you narration and directions. Compare them in RV tour vs self-guided.
