Iulian – I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for the most wonderful hike I have ever had! These full 2 days of hiking in the Fagaras ridge is going to be one of the best memories I’ll keep for the rest of my life… In these awesome, untouched terrain of 2500+ peaks (Moldoveanu, Negoiu) , surrounded by clouds, watching over breathtaking landscape, you guided me through all the way in the most professional manner! After so many years as full-time hiking-guide, you are familiar with every detail of the trails, every stone, ever… (>>>)

Tura cu Iulian Cozma. 7 zile. In Fagarasi. Si totul a inceput cu un pranz Romanesc la bunica acasa, in Ucea de Sus. Am fost un grup mixt in ce priveste aceasta activitate. Unii cu experienta in Tibet iar eu deloc. Iulian a invatat repde cum sa ne ghideze, cat si ce poate fiecare. Toti ne-am bucurat de aventura, de emotii, de surprize, de munte, iar unii chiar si de raul de inaltime in drum spre varful Moldoveanul. Iulian te face sa intelegi muntele, iti arata cum sa il cunosti, cum sa te comporti cu el. Ne-a aratat ca Romania chiar e frumoasa si su… (>>>)

Nous avons fait un merveilleux trekking de 2 semaines grâce à Iulian Cozma et son équipe.

Tout s’est très bien passé: précis tout en étant en même temps simple. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l’écoute du guide (Horia) et l’adaptabilité du programme si notre niveau ne correspondait pas au programme prévu. Le trekking devait avant tout être du plaisir!

Rencontres authentiques avec des bergers et le peuple roumain, paysages époustouflants, sensations fortes, moments pour se retrouver, tout cela était a… (>>>)

Truly breath taking

Hiking in the Romanian Alps was surreal. We ascended into the mountains and had lunch on the top of a mountain as the clouds rolled in from the valley below. Being able to see Iulian’s home made the trip personal and allowed a peek into Romanian culture and life. The views, fresh air, and incredible flowers that covered the mountainsides were breathtaking!!

While Iulian offers pure backcountry summer and winter treks for the hardy, we had an eclectic group of 30- to 60- year olds who appreciated a shower, robus… (>>>)

Testimonial from Fagaras and Bucegi hikes June 16-23, 2013:

I have been backpacking in the US for about 20 years. I have hiked in Montana, Wyoming, Northern California, and most of New England, as well as trekking in Peru. I have to say my experience in Romania in the Fagaras and Bucegi ranges was equal to or better than any other trip before.

Beginning with our first inquiries with our guide Iuli, my girlfriend Ana Wolf and I were extremely pleased with Iuli’s clear, honest and helpful responses to all of our questions. His English … (>>>)

If you want to backpack in the Transylvania Alps there is no better guide to go with than Iulian Cozma! In every way, from beginning to end Iulian is fun, reliable, skilled, trustworthy and kind. Right from the start, during the email process of figuring out dates, itinerary, and equipment I could feel Iulian’s warmth and knowledge coming through the internet.

During the trip he was the perfect guide, showing us bears from a distance, spotting snakes on the trail, telling us about the history of the trail and his country and region. He wa… (>>>)

What an awesome way to experience the natural parts of Romania! I have been living in Romania for 10 months and my general experience is that Romanians are not high on customer service, but Iulian is definitely an exception. Our trip was well-planned in terms of accommodations, walking routes, meals, and points of interest. Iulian paid close attention to our group’s needs and was flexible when plans changed abruptly just 2 days before the planned start. The scenery was spectacular and the distances matched our abilities well. He cho… (>>>)
