Lead through/walk through

If I am to give a tour of a campus to a particular person then would it be okay to say:

"I'm going to lead him through the campus"
OR
"I'm going to walk him through the campus"

Or something which isn't a part of this message. THANKS! Emotion: smile

Your sentences are good, but I would say, "I am going to show him around the campus."

Huzaifa AsifDo LEAD THROUGH and WALK THROUGH mean the same?
Not really. "Lead" is more like you want to keep him from getting lost, but a person would understand them pretty much the same in the context you presented. "Lead" is far less likely than "walk".

So WALK THROUGH is more preferred rather than LEAD THROUGH considering the CONTEXT?

Yes, but neither is particularly natural. You are going to show him the campus or show him around the campus.
