Guide vs Lead vs Steer vs Pilot vs Engineer
Guide, lead, steer, pilot, engineer are comparable when meaning to direct a person or thing in his or its course or to show the way which he or it should follow.
Guide usually implies assistance either by means of a person with intimate knowledge of the course or way and of all its difficulties and dangers or by means of something (as a light, the stars, a principle, or a device on a machine) which prevents a person or thing from getting off course or going astray.
Lead stresses the idea of going in advance to show the way and, often, to keep those that follow in order or under control. Often, especially in idiomatic phrases, lead implies the taking of the initiative, the giving of example, or the assumption of the role of leader, director, or guide.
Steer stresses the guidance by one able to control the mechanism which determines the course or direction (as of a boat, an automobile, an airplane); it carries a stronger implication of governing or maneuvering than any of the preceding terms.
Pilot implies the assistance of a person competent to steer a vessel safely through unknown or difficult waters (as into or out of a port). In its extended use it implies guidance over a course where one may easily lose one’s way because of its intricacy or may run afoul of various obstacles or dangers.
Engineer means to lay out and manage the construction of some project (as a tunnel under a river, a highway, or a bridge <a firm of experts was called upon to engineer the irrigation project> but in its more common extended sense it means to serve as a manager in carrying through something which requires contrivance and maneuvering.

I think the meaning is the same. There doesn’t have to be a difference.
The second dictionary definition of "to lead" is "to conduct by guiding".
There may be differences between the words, if you look at all the meanings of each word. But in this sentence? There is probably no difference.

Hold on! I think I figured it out: Guide is usually used when A leads B in a place that is totally unknown to B. Lead is usually used when A takes B somewhere.
For example, He guided us through the city.
The rabbit led the hunter to the lair of the wolf.
Their lawyer guided them through the legal system very skillfully.

"Guide" is often used to mean "lead". In those cases the word "lead" often implies "go first" — the person being guided follows the "leader".
But post #5 shows a more important difference: "guide" does not mean "go with", while "lead" does.
For example, we say "a guided missile". That is a missile that no-one leads (no person goes with the missile) but that someone guides (remotely, using radio waves). Drones are the same: any kind of "drone" has no human going where it goes, but is guided by a human.

англичане, помогите Разница между guide и lead? Разница между native и home?

1) то есть мы главный, лидер, например командир на войне ведёт свое войско, командует ими, что им делать, или лидер в разработке, который приведет свою команду к успеху под его руководством.
2) то есть мы карта, которая ПРИВЕДЕТ людей к какому то месту назначения, или гайд по игре, то есть инструкция, карта по сайту и тд.
