It took the mars orbiters aprox. 7 months to reach mars orbit, The moon depending on what craft they use,, Likie the apollo missions took only a few days to reach the moon,.

There have been a number of missions to the Moon, so we know the time needed to get to the moon is about 4 days.
We have sent a number of missions to Mars, but none involving humans. The trajectory that is typically used would require a trip of about 8.5 months to get there.
