Wow, that sounds incredible! The Basilica di Sant'Agnese is definitely one of those places that just swallows you whole. I've been a few times and never get tired of it, even though it's always packed. I haven't heard of guided tours specifically about the mosaics, sadly. Maybe check the basilica's website directly – they might have details buried somewhere in the Italian version, or maybe even contact them through email. Failing that, a good art historian specializing in early Christian art in @Rome might know of some resources. Good luck with your search!
