You will find many tour guides there and you can enjoy the tours alone as well. Two days are a minimum for seeing the majority of the sites.

Two days are quite sufficient to see all places in hampi. You can get guides also.but as in any tourist place you have to be wary of touts.It is better you stay in a decent hotel and engage a guide suggested by them. Better still ask the hotel people to arrange an auto and guide.There are good hotel in Hospet,the nearest town where you will have to stay. You can consult the Karnataka tourism development corporation at Hospet for any conducted tours. That would be very comfortable.
Have a great time.

yes two days are adequate for Hampi, if you can wrap it up by proper guide/auto. But an extra day may give you scope for Badami and Eihole visit.
I have given name of an auto driver with mobile number, who was immense help to me.

K.R.Residency is a good and cheap hotel very near to Railway Station. One Mr.Iyyapa Samy will be around this hotel who can arrange Auto and Guide. You can consult the Karnataka tourism development corporation at Hospet Railway stattion or thier office next to the above lodge for any conducted tours. That would be very comfortable.
Have a great time.
