The company provides trekking bikes, city bikes, family options and cargo solutions like bike-rickshaws and cargo bikes for short rides or utility use.

Guided options include 2-hour and longer guided bicycle tours of Bari and Lecce, specialized experiences such as Segway tours, risciò (bike-rickshaw) city rides, street food tours, and themed cultural routes like archaeological or shopping itineraries. Culinary activity choices pair cycling or walking with hands-on cooking lessons — for example, orecchiette and focaccia workshops — and often include tastings such as Primitivo wine and gelato.
Velo Service also coordinates transfers for day trips to regional highlights like Alberobello, Polignano a Mare, the Caves of Castellana and Matera, connecting bike rental convenience with wider sightseeing. Availability includes weekday and evening options for select services (for example, risciò rentals on Tuesday evenings); booking in advance is recommended for specialized tours and private experiences.
