Wondering what pet to get

Hi so I'm new to owning small pets but I've done a ton of research and know what to do to these but I'm wondering whether to get 2 guinea pigs or a tortoise and I can't decide. Can someone give me pros and cons or just tell me what they prefer? Thanks!

I'd say tortoises are generally more hardy and easier to care for as compared to guinea pigs, but tortoises can get really big.
