Why is путь in the accusative case and why isn’t there a preposition before it?

In Russian, direct objects of transitive verbs (like показывать) usually go in the accusative case without a preposition.
• путь (path/route) is masculine animate? No, it’s inanimate. So its nominative путь becomes accusative путь (unchanged).
• There’s no preposition because the verb itself (“to show”) directly takes the object “the route.”

Why is до офиса used here and what case does офиса take?

The preposition до means “up to,” “as far as,” or “until.” It requires the genitive case.
• офис (office) in genitive singular becomes офиса.
So до офиса literally means “up to the office,” i.e. “to the office.”
