<p>带 has a sense of lead/host, A带B去 can be used in the situation where B doesn't know the place but A does, so A takes B there and shows him around.</p>

<p>陪 means accompany, it does not have the sense of lead/host. B陪A may be used in a situation where A may feel strange or uncomfortable with acting alone and wants somebody else to accompany him.</p>

<p>护送 means precisely escort, where 护 means 保护 (protect). </p>

I am especially interested in the difference in meaning between the first and third. The third may not be correct because I may be recalling it poorly.

The first seems clear: "...to take you out" in the sense of escorting and showing around. But isn't there a similar meaning for "pei?" The second one is new to me and seems to have a similar meaning.

带 has a sense of lead/host, A带B去 can be used in the situation where B doesn't know the place but A does, so A takes B there and shows him around.

陪 means accompany, it does not have the sense of lead/host. B陪A may be used in a situation where A may feel strange or uncomfortable with acting alone and wants somebody else to accompany him.

护送 means precisely escort, where 护 means 保护 (protect).
