This tour definitely is more adult in its content. While we don't prohibit teenagers from joining, we do advise caution. It's really up to each parent to know what their own kids should be participating in. Hollywood unfortunately isn't the best area - and this tour does take place at night - but we have never had a safety issue. Sure, there are homeless around - but that's in any major city and is unavoidable. As for the ending location, it's clearly stated in the listing that it does not end where it began - it's about a 10 minute walk away. Again, best to review all details before booking - especially a true crime type tour. Thanks for the feedback. Best, Dara
