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!
