Looking at the photos brought back both laughs and memories we had during our trip.

Thanks for the photos. It took a few days to physically return to my time zone, but all is well now and I’ve labeled all my photos with a caption.

I had a fabulous time hiking and seeing the sights as well as meeting people in a new culture. Although we didn’t hike at Balea Lake, it still was one of my favorite experiences contending with hail, sleet, fog and snow at the end of June. Our passage on the twisting Transfagarasan Road up to Balea Lake could only be appreciated after stopping and looking back down the valley to see it. I&#… (>>>)

I enjoyed our tour with you. The food and accommodations were wonderful. You were able to change your plans to meet the challenges of poor weather, and our wishes to change plans as we went. The area was beautiful, the climbs tested our resolve, and the history/geography lessons were enjoyable. I will not hesitate to use your services again,

Ich freue mich auf ein Wiedersehen in Rumänien und achte gut auf Dich!

Lieber Mihai, auf diesem Wege nochmals ein herzliches Dankeschön für die unglaublichen drei Tage in der Umgebung von Brasov. Du hast das Programm (Wandern, Besichtigung Bran) sehr perfekt auf uns abgestimmt und wir erlebten unvergesslich wunderschöne Momente in dieser tollen Landschaft rund um Brasov. Auch jetzt wenn ich die vielen, vielen gemachten Photos betrachte, weiß ich, dass ich ganz sicher wieder eine Wanderung mit Dir machen muss, bestimmt schon nächstes Jahr wieder. Durch die drei Tage fand ich wieder meine innere R… (>>>)

Hiking in Fagaras mountains Romania

Hi Iulian, I received the DVDs quick work there. Very many thanks for them. Especially as I did not take many photos. Your’s will be far superior anyway. Amazed by the pic on the DVD – never seen that before.  Thanks very much indeed for your guiding, care and company. You provided an excellent service and it was a pleasure to chat to you about all things Romanian. I really enjoyed it.  Thanks again for everything, including the map, which was very kind. And very best wishes. You are an excellent guide and deserve much success.… (>>>)

Iulian bedankt voor de superweek! We zien elkaar weer!

Elk jaar loopt onze groep van 7 vrienden ergens in de bergen een hiking-tocht. In April 2011 hebben we gelopen in de Karpaten. We verwachtten redelijk goed weer, maar vanaf de eerste dag werden we geconfronteerd met enorme sneeuwbuien en al gauw lag er een sneeuwdek tussen 60 en 90 cm! Aanvankelijk(bij het boeken) hadden we getwijfeld of we wel of geen gids mee zouden nemen, maar al snel waren we het tijdens het lopen er over eens, dat we heel gelukkig waren met onze gids Iulian. Hij was vriendelijk en behulpzaam en wist wat te doen onder de v… (>>>)

Thanks for the special week Iulian. See You!

Every year our Group of 7 friends is hiking in the mountains some place. In April 2011 We hiked in the Carpat Mountains. We expected rather good wheather, but a lot of snow (to 90 cm!) was on our way. No problem, we were happy to have a excellent guide in Iulian. He is friendly and he knows what to do under the various circumnstances. And you can ask him everything about the country and its culture and history. For us it was a special week with a lot of fun and challange and we learned much about Romania. We saw the different sides of the country. We c… (>>>)

An engagement of Iulian as your mountain guide can be warmly recommended

I was a member of the Swiss skitouring group visiting the Bucegi and Faragas Mountains in Rumania during the second half of March 2011. For non-German-speaking readers, here my impressions in English:

Iulian Cozma is a very good organizer, also in difficult weather conditions, as we had experienced. He takes no undue risks, one always feels safe with him. He is a sociable and friendly person with a good sense of humour. He speak a very good English and is highly educated.

Eine Gruppe von acht Personen der SAC-Sektion Rossberg (Schweiz) verbrachten zehn Tage in Rumänien

Wir absolvierten Skitouren in den Bucegi-Bergen und im Fagaras-Gebirge. Die Schnee- und Wetterverhältnisse waren nicht optimal. Unser Bergführer, Iulian Cozma, hat uns trotzdem jederzeit umsichtig und sicher geführt. Sein Organisationstalent, die Betreuung auf den Touren und während der ganzen Reise waren auch für uns verwöhnte Schweizer vorbildlich. So besichtigten wir unterwegs verschiedene Sehenswürdigkeiten und Julian brachte uns auch in Kontakt mit der einheimischen Bevölkerung. Es waren eindrückliche Tage i… (>>>)
