    I personally say in a friendly tone “I’m sorry but I have to kick you out now because I have xxx things to do.”
    Add something appreciative about their visit/your meeting like “it was great to see you”, “thanks for stopping by” or something.

    If you are just socially spend, you could also say that. “I hate to kick you out, but I can’t people anymore today/my social capacity is spent/it was all a bit much for me today.”

    People will understand if you are direct. We all have shit to do and limited resources.
    Being honest and direkt is often less weird than dancing around the fact that you want them to leave.
