This question still has no clear answer, because guinea pigs are neither strictly diurnal nor nocturnal. They seem to scatter longer periods of activity with shorter periods of sleep throughout both the day and night.
Many owners will argue that they are apparently "more" diurnal, but this has to do with the observation that guinea pigs appear to adapt to the schedule and the rhythm of their human owners, who are mostly diurnal.
