My advice is to not bother with hiring a guide/taxi/auto. Take things at your own pace and hire some bicycles!! Spend the entire day cycling through the ruins. You'll be able to go places a vehicle can't take you, and you'll find you'll be on your own for the entire time.
The cycle shops are easy to find in the main part of Hampi, should cost around 30 rupees for the entire day

To get to Hampi, catch the night train from Bangalore to Hospet. From Hospet get an auto to Hampi, which costs about Rs.100/-.
The best way to get around Hampi is to hire either a cycle or a scooter from the main bazaar.

Some form ot transport is essential if you want to see the best of what Hampi has to offer, due to the expanse of the area. If you have a good guide book you can hire a bicycle, but remember the area covers some 33kms. Taxi's and Tuk Tuk's are readily available, and tho' i did not use them myself, i found that when talking to them, they were also proficient guides. Remember the price is negotiable, and if you want to see the Monkey Temple, using motorised transport there is a 70km detour.
