direct, take, guide, lead

If you direct someone somewhere, you tell them which way to go to get there, but you do not go with them
• He directed me to a hotel near the airport (NOT He guided me to a hotel near the airport).!! 

Do not say that you direct something in a particular direction. Say that you point something in a particular direction
• He pointed the gun at the policeman (NOT He directed the gun at the policeman).

If you take, guide, or lead someone somewhere, you go with them there
• I'll take you to the airport.

Use guide especially to talk about helping someone along a difficult route
• They guided me through a maze of one-way streets.

Use lead to talk about going in front of someone who is following you
