We do not agree with the conclusion of the Comment by Charalambidis et al. questioning our observation of two-photon ionization of helium by intense radiation with 13  eV photons from a vuv free-electron laser. Two-photon ionization is clearly established by the detection of low-energy photoelectrons at ~1.7  eV, which agrees very well with the expected energy for a two-photon ionization process.
