Everything we did at the Alamo was free. No admission fees. The grounds are amazing. Not sure about the riverboats, if you don’t want the tour, just get the all day pass to ride the boat like a taxi and get on and off when you want. It’s cheaper and they still tell you information and history on the various buildings as you ride.
