A Visit to Rough Point
All tours are led by a knowledgeable guide. The small, intimate groups of 12-14 guests allow for a relaxed and personal experience.
Lasting approximately one hour and 15 minutes, the tour visits the entire first floor of the house, then continues upstairs with a visit to Doris Duke's bedroom and a sitting room where she played the piano daily. The tour finishes in two galleries featuring the special exhibit Zoo in the House: Animals in the Doris Duke Art Collection.
Make sure to allow extra time to stroll the beautiful oceanfront grounds and visit the 'secret' flower garden and kitchen vegetable garden.
