unless one has kids, just skip Navy Pier. City view from Adler is stellar.
I would recommend the Chicago Architecture Foundation's river cruise over all others. The person talking about the buildings will be an actual docent who knows about the buildings, where the others will just be some dope screwing up reading a script.
AGREED !
