Yes it is safe to give guinea pigs a bath, provided you use a very mild soap or shampoo and keep it out of their eyes. amanda509 has given some good advice and I think most guinea pigs enjoy the experience, if they like to be handled.
Owners of long haired guinea pigs regularly wash and groom them, otherwise they can collect a lot of dirt and smelly stuff when their long hair sweeps the gound. One of the disadvantages of having such short legs!
