I´d reserve at least 1 day to see Agra & The Taj. The road is two lanes each way, almost like a motorway... very rare for India actually.
But it was kinda scary, too, because some of the drivers clearly didn´t have a clue about what that unusual increase of speed does to your stopping distance, for example, so there were dozens of very badly crashed cars and trucks on the roadside! And they are not used to follow the lanes, even though they might be painted to the tarmac.... so I´d strongly advice as a tourist to drive/ride only during daylight hours, develop a 360° vision, and be extremely alert at all times (which is a good "survival-tip" for most of India, really!)
