Taxi from DLH to Farmer's Market?

[TechGuy]

Hello!
We are just days away from our trip! We are doing a cheesy Hollywood tour in the middle of our stay (Disneyland Hotel). We have to get to the Farmer's Market by taxi with a family of 5. Any recommendations? Should I go ahead and book?
Thanks!

Wait, I thought the OP was just trying to get to the Farmers Market to catch a specific Hollywood tour which leaves from there, not visit the Farmers Market itself?

You're right... they are. If Kerry is just taking one of the Hollywood tours, it would be better to book one that leaves from the Anaheim stations. IIRC, there were three bus companies that offer Anaheim based tours

Graylines Anahiem Tours (includes pick-up from any of 80 hotels)

As smaller company with more flexibility: https://anaheimtourcompany.com/

I have used one of these larger companies but it was more than 20 years ago. Everyone taking any tour from the company got on one bus at the hotel, drove to a central location and then got onto another bus for your destination. The evening bus returned you direct to your hotel, dropping each party on the bus at their hotel.

We are doing the legends of Hollywood tour that starts and has a lengthy stop at the farmer's market... Maybe this is not "the" farmer's market after all??? Who knows? This tour just looked the best from those I researched!
Thanks everyone!

The Farmer's Market isn't like a standard FM. It's at The Grove in Los Angeles next to CBS studios and is an outdoor mall type structure. (I lived in LA for years).
It's far from Anaheim, you'll probably spend more than $100 on a taxi from Anaheim...

Okay, so the tour was rated super highly. If we can cancel, is there one closer you can recommend??? Anyone???

Is this the tour you booked?

Their tours also depart from Downtown Los Angeles, where there are many more transportation options available. If you want to do this tour then rebooking it for a DTLA departure would be much better.

It must be "THE" Farmers Market. On the Legends of Hollywood page it says "Recommended Location," and then it mentions Farmers Market and The Grove. But one hour is not that lengthy -- in fact, it's barely enough time to even figure out what to eat while at the Market! I saw a reference on the page to one hour at Farmers Market. Did you see something longer than one hour?

True! As I mentioned previously in this thread, I live very close to Farmers Market (close enough that I was recruited to do a focus group for them a couple of weeks ago), and have taken point to point shuttles from this area to Anaheim and back. The taxis are most definitely in that price range -- and can change if the driver runs into traffic. The shuttles will give a flat rate, but they are still very expensive.

Just an update...we opted to change to a downtown LA pick-up. Still around 95.00 each way (including tip) but less travel time! I will let you know what we think of the tour!

Metrolink Express Train from the ARTIC train station is $17.50, round trip to Union Station. You can ride ART bus to the ARTIC

Might be an option
