The Basilica has just completed the placement of the final piece of mosaic tile on the central dome and the scaffolding should be coming down soon if not already. Definitely worth going on a tour if you can. I'd generally just suggest out of courtesy that you try not to wander around in the upper church during actual church services, though no one is likely to stop you just use common sense and check mass and other event schedules before you go.
