We were very much looking forward to this tour. The operator is very well organized with friendly and communicative staff. 5 stars for customer service!
The bikes are functional for the tour but not overly comfortable. That's more an issue with the trail than the bikes, I think.
The first 12 km through the Myra Canyon are amazing. The trestles are so interesting and there are lots of photo opportunities. In retrospect we had wished we had booked the 1/2 day tour and cycled Myra Canyon and back.
On our full day self-guided tour to Penticton, though, the trail got really bad and unpleasant to ride. Lots of pot holes and sandy patches that made the bikes swirl around and made riding hard work for about 45km.
After that, above Narramatta, the trail got a lot better and it was a pure pleasure to ride down with the spectacular view of the lake and wine country.
If we did this again, we would do it in two sections, Myra Canyon for a 1/2 day tour and then rent a bike in Penticton and rid up the KVR Trail until the trail deteriorates, about 15-20 km in.
