Untours offers a local's-eye view of New York

For 33 years, the company known as Untours has sent thoughtful, spirited Americans to enjoy vacations in Europe that involve the use of apartment accommodations. For two weeks or more, you live like a European, enjoying your flat, shopping at the local grocery stores and preparing your own meals - all with European neighbors - and thus you enjoy the opposite of a tour, an "untour." Although an Untours representative resides nearby to help you out of scrapes, you otherwise live like a European.

And now you'll live like a New Yorker. In a surprising move, Untours has created a supplemental program to which it applies all the formulas that have proven so popular in Europe.
