Sunrise is a great choice for seeing the Taj Mahal as you get a bit of time before the really huge crowds arrive.
Vinny the guide was good - he's definitely the guide for you if you're keen for insta stories (I wasn't particularly, but I do like the approximately one million photos I now have). Vinny gave some good info about the Taj's history - I would've liked a little more but that's just a minor quibble. The driver was also very nice, drove safely, and the car was probably the most comfortable I had in India.
We did get taken to a rug shop at the end of the tour (I think a lot of these tours have a 'shopping' element) - we saw how the rugs were made, they seemed nice and I didn't really feel pressured to buy anything, but something to be aware of. Note also I booked this tour through a different site.
