Such a wealth of information is provided in the guided tour. Our guide (Illa?) was very knowledgeable and gave us such a good historical context and timeline for the Alamo's battle. Full review by fbglove

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.

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!
