Requested flight following to ZZZ; upon hand off to ZZZ tower; we were instructed to make left base for 30R; and was also cleared to land 30R. Once on left base; tower advised similar call sign to turn heading 270 for traffic. The tower mistook our call sign and we did not know the instructions were for our aircraft.
