Question about seeing the Taj Mahal (coming from Delhi)

Greetings all,

My wife and parents and I are thinking of going to Delhi, and we definitely want to see the Taj Mahal. We would be coming in from Delhi, which we are told is about 200km from the Taj and are trying to figure out the best way to do it. We would be arriving in Delhi on a Friday night, so we thought about going to the Taj Mahal on Saturday morning, spending the day in Agra and then coming back to Delhi on Sunday morning. Then, we have a flight back to ORD on Monday morning at 12:15 am. A couple of questions:

1) Is this doable? What is the travel like between the Taj Mahal and Delhi? Are we putting ourselves at risk of missing our flight Monday night in case of a delay on the way back to Delhi?

2) Does anyone know of a tour guide/private driver, etc. (a bus tour would be just fine) that could take us to the Taj and walk a bunch of clueless tourists around?

Thanks!
Mike
