Yes most guinea pigs like at least one other guinea pig as company! but 2 girls i recommend they get on well but 2 boys may fight and a girl and a boy will mate but unless you want to breed 2 girls a recommended!
Not necessarily, but it would better for the guinea pig to have another guinea pig with it for company. If you are pairing up a guinea pig to live with another, make sure that they do not fight. It would be a good idea to buy two baby guinea pigs together that were already living in the same cage in the pet store. If you have two grown guinea pigs and one dies, do not replace the guinea pig with a new baby one. Both will be in a highly uncomfortable place. So in that case, the grown guinea pig should be left alone. That guinea pig will be lonely, so it is important for the owner to give the guinea pig the daily attention he or she needs.

Guinea rescues usually offer a piggie dating service to pair up older Guineas that have ended up alone.
Guinea pigs don't HAVE to be with other pigs, most prefer the company of other piggies, but some just like to "stay single" for instance, I have 7 pigs, and 2 are "loners" so, when adopting a second pig, bring your current pig to make sure they get along :)

Rabbits/Bunnies do NOT make good cage mates for Guinea Pigs. The Guinea Pig needs another of its own kind to thrive. Even if it does have another Guinea Pig partner, the Rabbit/Bunny may try to kill, hurt, or eat them. I hope this answers your question!
