It was another awesome thing in San Antonio. They had a lot of artifacts and good descriptions with each. Like all, it cost but well worth it. Full review by lemmingss

Fascinating history, from mission, to fort, to battle site, to preserved museum in the middle of the great city. Highly recommend the self paced audio tour and stopping to see the out buildings, mus… Full review by janiewoods

Basically the answer is Yes. They give you a free timed ticket for just walking thru on a self guided tour at a kiosk in front of the Alamo. You can also buy a guided tour ticket at this kiosk, and they only have so many per day. We had to wait for the next day to have that tour, as only so many are allowed on these guided tours. It was well worth it, as the guide was very knowledgeable, gave many back stories to the events and why they happened.

We are in an RV and didn't see any. The Alamo is downtown and parking around downtown is small, limited and pricey. You could park at one of the larger missions, visit it and call an Uber/Lyft. We stayed at an RV park and used Uber/Lyft. You can call the San Antonio Parking Office to see where you can park. Thar's what we do when we visit a city with limited parking.
Are there entry fees to Mission San Jose, San Antonio Missions park, and the Alamo? Also, I have seen four different ticket prices on the River Walk boat. How much is it per person? Thanks so much!!

The missions we went to there was no entry fee. There is also no entry for the Alamo but you can pay for a guided tour. We did the tour and it was fantastic! River walk boat tour prices …
The missions we went to there was no entry fee. There is also no entry for the Alamo but you can pay for a guided tour. We did the tour and it was fantastic! River walk boat tour prices vary depending because some offer drinks, dinners, and other things. We did just the tour (the tour guide was hilarious) if I recall correctly it was around $16 a person. Hope that helps!
