There are several ways to tour Breaking Bad film locations in Albuquerque. Breaking Bad RV Tours is three hour long, offers interactive 17 and 20 film location tours in a 1986 Fleetwood Bounder that include a stop at Twisters, aka Los Pollos Hermanos for $75.00 per person. I assume that they run film clips for each location visited. Do-it-yourselfers can get addresses of film sites on several websites and plot a course around Albuquerque to see the Breaking Bad locations.
Eric and I are do-it-yourselfers. We opt for Google maps and the GPS to explore Breaking Bad's Albuquerque.
Season One film locations are often repeated as the series progresses.
Walt & Skyler White's House
****Update: According to an October 14, 2017 Newsday article, the owners of the house used as Walter and Skylar White's home on Breaking Bad are putting up a six fence to ensure their privacy. This house is a fan's photo op delight and BB fans are roaming the front yard taking pictures and selfies, while ordering the owners around.

Albuquerque is a great place to stage a TV series. The city covers 189 square miles with a population of just over half a million. Sections of the city vary, a lot, in architecture and types of businesses. The neighborhoods were built at different times, have different architectural styles and are in different states of repair. A city this is big enough to have everything that film and production crews could need to create a multi season TV show.
