Floating camera - Interior walkthrough

I just finished modelling a house and am going to set up cameras tomorrow. How would you set them to show the whole house off. I want it floating from one room to another, slowing down and looking at various objects as it goes around the house. Kind of like this 3D Architectural House Home Interior Exterior Animation - YouTube
3D Interior walk through animation Villa - YouTube
plus some up and down angles..


I have almost no experience with this.. and couldn't find much online either.

The only way that comes to mind is to create a curve, to attach "camera and aim" to it and have it go from point A to point B (while animating the aim at the same time). Then duplicating the came at point B, creating a new curve, attach, repeat, etc., but this won't result in very smooth natural movement.

I guess I could also create a one extremely complex curve to go through the whole house, attach the camera to it, key it in the main points on the path and the adjust the timing of it in graph editor.. but there must be a better way.. Let me know if you have any suggestions, or know some good tutorials dealing with this..
Thanks!
