I usually just sprint to the destination as fast as I can. If the escort falls too much behind you, it just teleports near you, so you can dash past all the nasties and he most likely won't get more than a hit or two on him before porting to you. Just need to keep a careful watch on your stamina, since if you run out right next to a bandit camp, you'll be in for some frustration.
