Hearst Castle is really a fascinating story and place.
I've done roughly tours 1 through 3 over the years, from what I can see of the current configuration, it seems like doing them in that order makes the most sense.
The place is huge, and crammed with incredible, priceless art and artifacts from all over the world. They have done a great job of preserving it. When you go, you really feel like you are stepping back in time, and can imagine the huge parties with all of the old school Hollywood elite there. There are so many interesting stories about how it was constructed, where everything came from, what went on there, etc.
I always thought an interesting room was Hearst's bedroom. Given the huge scale of the place, you think it is going to be some monster room. It is tiny! Basically just enough room for the bed, a dresser or two, a couple of nightstands and that's it. Pretty much the same size as one of the millions of little guest bedrooms in the place.
