Day Trip to Amalfi Coast
Looking for recommendations for day trips to the Amalfi Coast. Tour company? Private driver?
It will be 4 of us: my wife and I and our 14/17 year old daughters based out of Naples.
We want to sample the views and see what everyone talks about with the beauty. We know we need to come back and spend a week there, but we have one day on this trip, June 22nd. Hoping to not break the bank in the process on our last day of our 2 week Europe trip.
Thanks in advance.

I also would take a ferry. Views from the water are beautiful. Roads can be very crowded and you would be in a car with windows up for air conditioning or with windows open, breathing fumes from heavy traffic, a most unpleasant way to try and enjoy the AC.
Naples to Capri is not a bad day trip.
All the way to Salerno and return is a very long day requiring multiple ferries and train, but at least you could actually see some of the AC.
Questions. I vaguely remember your trip, but where are you coming from to Naples and where are you going after Naples? Exactly what time will you be arriving and departing? Will you be arriving in Naples by plane, train or ferry? These questions are to determine if there might be a better option than a day trip from Naples.

We were in Atrani near Amalfi before Naples and there again the buses and ferries were full, it was busy even early in the season. But I agree with thursdaysd, the views from the water are stunning.
IMO you might want to take the ferry from Naples to Capri for a day trip. Expect crowds everywhere, but you’ll still get the water views, with a shorter travel time.

Naples is our last stop after London, Paris, and Rome. We'll be taking the train from Rome to Naples on June 22nd in the morning. Going straight down to an afternoon tour at Pompeii, then back to Naples for dinner and our VRBO that night.
We'll have all day on June 23rd for this experience. Then we fly home on the 24th.

IMO, private driver is the only way to do it well in 1 day. You'll spend 1/2 the day waiting in lines or crowded on mass transit otherwise.
