Asha Kirkby from Skatefresh says about inline skating in the capital of the Netherlands: Oh Amsterdam, how I miss your smooth streets and elegance. It’s so great for skating. Like skating through a dutch painting…. (the countryside bit) and the city and modern architecture is so cool and funky plus all the old maritime history and engineering. Love the Dutch!

Skate•A•Round 1: Skating instructor and local guide Amsterdam (and above) combined: private skate tours with mini workshops. 

Being both skate teacher AND local private guide in Amsterdam (and above) I combine these 2 skills in entertaining and educational sightseeing skate tours.

Het Noorderpark is een heerlijke en vrij onbekende plek om goed te inline skaten in Amsterdam
Noorderpark; hidden skate gem

The skating tours take place in the city of Amsterdam (or at a carfree hotspot), in it’s countryside (Like Waterland, to the beach, or to Zaanse Schans), around the tulip fields above Alkmaar (in Spring), on Texel and even in Friesland if you would like the taste of the eleven cities history.

By the way: Are you able to inline skate or roller-skate on the street? For this tour you need to be streetwise enough. (And than during the tour you learn more.) Are you skating on the street? And what about your friend(s)?

If not we’d go to one of those cool spots in Amsterdam which are carfree: look right and beneath for 2 examples.

So I teach you advanced skating techniques, and during the same city skate tour I show you the city. 5 to 15 km. About. 2,5 hours. Good tarmac (asphalt), however never for 100%..;)
€ 220,- with max. 10 persons. (including 21% VAT)
Are you just 1? or 2? And/or want a shorter tour? Send me an app and I will make you a (cheaper) tailor made skating Amsterdam offer. Or you want a day trip? Same procedure..;)

Pricing is excluding rentals, train/bus, drinks and lunch. (Renting in Amsterdam is possible by the way. Ask me.)

In case of rain we go biking (or footbiking?). Renting a bike at a bike shop is about € 14,50 for 3 hours.

I have drawn a map of one of an Amsterdam private skate tour + mini workshops on the road.

Skate-A-Round Holland: skate tours, roller blading lessons and skate clinics


The (L)exception: Not a private
Skate•A•Round tour (6 spots) and therefore cheaper; with mini workshops included

No new date set yet for 2024. (Not for now at least. I am too busy with private classes & tours and my role as musical volunteer of Friday Night Skate. It might change.)
Skate tour the Netherlands with mini workshops included

It will be fun to make an exception to the rule of private tours and lessons. 
Let’s talk Group skating tour Amsterdam with a small group (max 6 persons); small-scale. Including mini workshops on skate-able squares. Sunday Morning it is way the best time to do so, as the city still sleeps.

Private inline skate tour in East Amsterdam with Lex from Skate-A-Round inline adventures. This is "Onderlangs", a great path to skate beneath Betondorp.
This is “Onderlangs”, a great path to skate beneath Betondorp, East Amsterdam.

A small-scale group tour with mini workshops in-between on squares? What I mean by that, is stops on attractive spots in town to do a mini workshop together: better breaking, turning, sliding, off the side-walk rolling or jumping..and so on. Workshop theme for the first Amsterdam tour: scissors. Mastering scissors helps you to go over tram-rails and improve your braking skills. ⇓(continue beneath the picture.)⇓
And..we do not forget about the sights of Amsterdam, including some hidden gems.
The price is € 27,50 each with max. 6 people in this skate – workshop – tour. (3 hour skate tour + mini workshops in-between)

Might this be your thing? Obviously you should be able how to break already and master the scissors. 
Send Skate•A•Round an app, mail or call us.

Skate•A•Round not just skates on tracks with people, it hàs one too. ;) It has been organizing skate tours and skate holidays since 1998. With thousands of inline skaters we have discovered Paris, Barcelona, London, Berlin, New York, The French Riviera, Denmark, Switzerland and the Netherlands on inline skates. :)

Skate-A-Round Lexperiences - Lessons - outings - trips AmsterdamSkate•A•Round has been the leading brand in inline skating since 1998. Not just for lessons, for all kind of so-called “inline adventures”. Thousands of skaters have joined on our tours, skate holidays and skate clinics, from more than 10 different countries.

Skating instructor Lex van Buuren has been busy full time with roller blading during a periode of 12 years. After that the number of inline skaters decreased and he has transformed himself into a sportive guide in Amsterdam (and Paris)

Before your skating class with me, Lex, you might view some clips from the Youtube channel from Skatefresh Asha.
(I am her local guide in Amsterdam.)


Now, during the Corona crisis, skating has become big again.
Taking into account safety I teach inline skating for one – two persons (or one couple, one parent-child every day. And only when the park (or parking) is quiet.
7 days a week, and possible in 7 10 different parks in Amsterdam and 7 different braking techniques are possible.

Diemerpark is great for inline skating. It is near IJburg - In that new Amsterdam

Over the years inline skaters, participating at Friday Night Skate, have uploaded their Amsterdam skate tracks. This is a hobby page.
This self-do skate-route webpage from the widely known FNS group-skate contains tracks within town and in the countryside. Like Waterland, direction beach, IJburg and so on. You find small distances and long ones.
Most of them are updated quite a long time ago.
