I'm going to go to the Czech Republic, Hungary (excursion tour), the travel agency gave me to sign a paper stating that my passport will be there throughout the trip
How can I rest easy, knowing that I don’t have any document with me (a photocopy is not a document), because I will be in a foreign country!

This is a normal practice for such tours. Your passport will be kept by the leader of the group in case of checking documents on the roads (availability of visas, etc.) or at the hotel reception while you are staying there.
We did not experience any inconvenience in this regard, although photocopies were carried with us by every fireman.

I advise you to take a receipt from the person who took your passports, with all the data. and of course, make copies (we always have copies and I also took photos of passports on my digital camera).

although, for the past 5 years we have been going to the Czech Republic, no one has ever taken our passports.

Absolutely agree with the previous comment. Make yourself a photocopy and walk on health. There will be no problems ..... well, if you just don’t purposefully look for them yourself

When we traveled to the Czech Republic in autumn, our passports were also taken away from us. However, we did not experience any inconvenience. The tour was short and we were with the group almost all the time.
But on the May holidays, I went on a tour (Budapest-Vienna-Venice-Ljubljana-Lake Heviz) with the Delta-Travel company, the tourists had their passports all the time. The travel agency and the group leader trusted us. It was nice that we traveled the European way.

This is not a common practice. This is the tour operator's insurance against the tourist's attempt to migrate illegally.

We also signed a paper at the agency that the head of the group would have our passports, but they never took them from us. Our passports were always in our hands.

You must have a passport! This is a violation of your rights and a violation of applicable law.

I also signed a similar document before traveling to the Czech Republic. But our passports were collected only at the borders (customs) and immediately given back. In the Czech Republic, we all had passports.
These measures are tour insurance. operator: 1) So that you do not deliberately stay in this country. 2) So that if your passport is lost, your leader and the whole group will not have problems.
