The ABQ Trolley Co. tour, spanning 25 miles and lasting 2 hours, will feature around 15 locales that were frequented by James McGill aka “Saul Goodman”, the fictional lawyer who is the namesake for the show. According to ABQ Trolley Co. co-owner Jesse Herron:
“Most of the sites are Downtown, but the tours will also include visits to such sites as Jimmy McGill's/Saul Goodman's "office" in the show, a utility room in a nail salon.”
Someone at the nail salon, located on Juan Tabo Boulevard, stated that there was filming at least 3 times at the salon. They were hoping to be included in the original Breaking Bad trolley tour, also run by ABQ Trolley Co. Imagine their surprise when they were included in a brand new tour centered completely around Better Call Saul.
The show which follows James McGill, Walter White’s attorney from Breaking Bad, just finished its first season last Monday and is already renewed for a second season after immense popularity of the first season and with a little help from Breaking Bad.
Since 2012, ABQ Trolley Co. has run its Breaking Bad tour, “BaD Tour”, 74 times and has not had a problem filling up the tours. Herron said that they have “never had an empty seat.”
There was some hesitance about the tour at first, according to Herron, “With the BaD Tour, we thought we’d do one ever, (but) it’s like, ‘Let’s keep doing it.’”
Tickets for the “Saul Tours”, which begin April 26th and will take place monthly, will be $50 and will be available for purchase at ABQ Trolley Co.’s website.
