We went by taxi because it was well-priced and effortless (especially important if you have tackled Polish vodka the evening before!). He charged us 60 euros return, waited while we there and picked us up at Birkenau. I think it took around an hour to get there.
According to people we met you are better to get the bus than the train because the train station is a fair walk away. Can't comment on that myself.
We got tickets for the English speaking guide and found it very helpful. She didn't rush us around what we saw but we clearly didn't see everything at Auschwitz. This seemed to be because of bus times between the sites.
We will probably go back and do it without a guide next time.
If you go you must visit both sites to get the whole picture. Wrap up well for Birkenau!
