Advice on visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau

Hi all!

We just picked up a tour on arrival at Auschwitz; we didn't book anything in advance. The tour included a short film and then a tour of the site and took around 3 hours.

You can get a public bus from Krakow main bus station which drops you right outside Auschwitz - as far as I remember they fun fairly regularly and the journey takes around 1.5 hours. There is a train too but the station is a bit of a walk from the site.

We were also in Krakow in winter - it's pretty but wrap up warm!

Does anyone recommend a guided tour from Krakow? or is it better just to find a tour once you arrive on site at Auschwitz?

I am looking to go in June 2013, and haven't booked anything yet but want to start figuring out details!

I don't think there's any need to book a tour from Krakow - everyone just seemed to pick up the tour on site, unless of course you want the convenience of transport to and from your hotel/hostel in Krakow.
