show around

Lead through space

To show someone around is to guide them through an unfamiliar place, pointing out features and explaining what's what: Let me show you around the office.

The tour can be formal or casual—a realtor showing clients around a property, or a friend showing a visitor around town.

I'll show you around when you get here.
