I would recommend sticking with your original thought. 3 years ago I secured a car, driver, and guides in both Delhi and Agra for two days for INR 12,000 ~ $186 USD. Wish I could give you the contact info but I lost it.
Make sure the driver takes the toll expressway and this is negotiated in advance. When I went, it had just opened and our driver didn't know that. So we meandered on the slow road on the way down, stopping at the cafe where they buy drivers lunch in exchange for bringing in tourists. It took 3+ hours. On the way back we took the expressway at my insistence and it took under 2 hours.
